Ingredients:

For the Bread:

8-10 slices rye bread, cubed (about 4-5 cups)
½ cup butter, melted
For the Filling:

1 pound corned beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (16-ounce) can sauerkraut, drained and rinsed (rinse again for a milder flavor, if desired)
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup Thousand Island dressing (or your favorite Reuben dressing)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
2 teaspoons caraway seeds (optional)

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch rectangular baking dish.

Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, toss the cubed rye bread with melted butter until well coated.

Assemble Layers: Spread half of the buttered bread cubes evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Add Filling: Layer the corned beef pieces over the bread cubes. Sprinkle the sauerkraut on top of the corned beef.

Add Cheese and Dressing: Distribute half of the shredded Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut. Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the cheese layer.

Season and Top: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and caraway seeds (if using). Top with the remaining bread cubes and shredded Swiss cheese.

Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread cubes are golden brown on top.

Cool and Serve: Let the Reuben bake cool slightly before serving.
