Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
Evenly spread the rye bread cubes in the greased casserole dish to form the base layer.
Drizzle the melted butter over the bread cubes and, if desired, sprinkle the caraway seeds for extra rye flavor.
Layer half of the shredded Swiss cheese over the bread cubes.
Scatter the corned beef evenly across the cheese layer, covering all corners.
Spread the drained sauerkraut evenly over the corned beef layer. If the sauerkraut is very wet, press it gently between paper towels to remove excess liquid before using.
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut layer, ensuring even coverage.
Top the casserole with the remaining shredded Swiss cheese.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the bold, savory flavors of this comforting Reuben-inspired casserole!
