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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
