I guess you could say that the half you combine with the bean mixture does
get soggy, but that's just part of the dish. I don't think there's an
awareness of "sogginess", since they are thoroughly mixed in. The other
half that's scatter on top near the end of the baking do remain crisp.
When they come out of the can, they are very crisp.
