  2. In a large bowl, toss the rye bread cubes with melted butter and garlic powder until coated.
Layering

  2. Layer the corned beef over the bread, followed by the sauerkraut.
  3. Sprinkle the chopped dill pickles and parsley over the sauerkraut, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Drizzle Thousand Island dressing evenly over the layers and arrange the Swiss cheese slices on top.
  5. Finish with the remaining buttered bread cubes on top of the cheese, covering the casserole.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the top bread cubes are light golden and the cheese has melted.
  2. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
