Equipment

Instructions

Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) so it's ready for your sauerkraut casserole.
To start building your casserole, use a brush to spread oil in a casserole dish lightly. Then, layer in 1 cup of sauerkraut at the bottom of a greased dish, shredded cheese, and ground beef. These ingredients create a flavorful foundation for your dish.
Sprinkle finely chopped garlic, salt, and pepper over the first layer. Add another layer of sauerkraut to enhance the taste. Finally, cover everything with a smooth layer of sour cream, which adds a delightful creamy touch.
For the finishing touch, sprinkle another layer of cheese on top. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil to keep the flavors in. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. This helps all the flavors meld together beautifully. You can take out the aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes and bake uncovered to get your cheese topping a nice crust.

Notes

If you are using canned sauerkraut from grocery stores, remember to drain it before using it to avoid excess moisture.
Use a casserole dish that is not very big, so you can higher up the layers.
Use your favorite cheese, Swiss cheese, cheddar or any other. Make sure you shred it at home to avoid additional starch from supermarkets.
Additionally, broth, spices and herbs like garlic powder, onion powder or freshly chopped herbs can give this casserole even greater flavors.
