Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a small casserole dish (about 6x6 inches or similar) with cooking spray.
Butter both sides of the rye bread slices and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Spread half of the cubed rye bread evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Layer half of the corned beef slices over the bread cubes, followed by half of the sauerkraut and two slices of Swiss cheese.
Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing over the cheese layer and sprinkle with caraway seeds, if using.
Repeat the layers with the remaining bread cubes, corned beef, sauerkraut, cheese, and dressing.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly browned.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Reuben Casserole for Two!
