  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the kraut and beans with your favorite sides: Kraut and beans is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Popular sides include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or cornbread.
