Ingredients
  

1 pound rye bread, cubed

1 pound corned beef, chopped

2 cups sauerkraut, drained and rinsed

2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

¼ cup thousand island dressing

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Bread Base: In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spread the cubed rye bread across the bottom.

      Layer the Ingredients: On top of the bread, layer the chopped corned beef evenly, followed by the sauerkraut and Swiss cheese.

        Make the Cream Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, thousand island dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

          Spread the Cream Mixture: Pour the cream mixture over the layers in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover all the ingredients.

            Top with Cheese: If desired, sprinkle a little extra shredded Swiss cheese on top for a cheesy finish.

              Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color.
