Note

For a crispier topping, remove the foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Ensure sauerkraut is well-drained to prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.

You can substitute regular breadcrumbs for whole wheat if preferred.

This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
