Corned Beef Pockets Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This corned beef pockets recipe will satisfy your corned beef craving and you’ll fall in love with this fun kid-friendly meat pocket recipe. I love an easy meal that is a take on a classic and is made even better by the fact that it is a 4-ingredient recipe!

A friend of mine was telling me that her mom used to make these super simple ham and cheese pockets.  She would take crescent rolls and pop them out of the roll, lay some deli sliced ham down, a slice of cheese and top it with another crescent roll and pinch the edges.  Throw it in the oven and bake for a bit.  Viola, a great snack, kid friendly meal, easy dinner or appetizer.

Ingredients for corned beef pockets

Well, I thought those sounded super delicious but I was looking for a new recipe for St. Patrick’s Day this year (a kids St. Patrick’s Day recipe if you will).  So, I got a little creative and made these corned beef pockets.

Crescent roll dough, corned beef, Swiss cheese

What ingredients do I need for corned beef pockets?

  1. Crescent rolls  yup, simple ones like these.
  2. Corned beef
  3. Swiss cheese
  4. Thousand island dressing

Un-cooked corned beef pockets

This fun meat pocket recipe remind me of a yummy empanada (like these air fryer cuban empanadas).  They are pockets full of goodness – at least that’s how I like to describe them!  Another term I’ve heard used for these are ‘Reuben rolls.’  By the way, there is a restaurant in Milwaukee called Mader’s that makes THE BEST reuben rolls!

If you want to make these pockets a bit more kid-friendly, you could always swap the cheese or play around with the fillings to see what you kids like!  Not all kids love Swiss cheese, so maybe try turkey and cheddar – have some fun!

When you find a combo that works for your kids, keep it on hand because these make an excellent after school snack and are just as easy to make as it sounds. This corned beef pocket recipe is also a great St. Patrick’s day appetizer!

Bite out of appetizer

If you want to kick the recipe up a notch for your adult friends, add in some sauerkraut.  I like to use the thousand island dressing as a dipping sauce and enjoy this fun to eat dish!

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
