Savory, satisfying, and deeply nostalgic—this is supper, perfected. Born from Depression-era ingenuity and perfected in Midwest church basements, this casserole turns pantry staples into pure gold. The crescent dough rises into a golden crust; the corned beef and sauerkraut meld into tender layers; the cheese pulls like a blessing. And best of all? It’s ready in 30 minutes—perfect for busy weeknights or unexpected guests.


✨ Best of all? Naturally freezer-friendly, endlessly adaptable, and always the first to vanish at potlucks.
