How to Make Bean And Sauerkraut Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients in the order listed below, mixing well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  3. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or three 1 1/2-quart casserole dishes.
  4. Divide the bean and sauerkraut mixture evenly among the prepared baking dishes.
  5. Cover the baking dishes tightly with foil or lids.
  6. Bake for 2 hours, or until heated through. Add 1/4 cup of water to the casserole(s) if the beans appear dry during baking.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes for easier portioning.
  8. Serve as a delicious side dish alongside meat patties, baked macaroni and cheese, or over toast or rice. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
