I haven’t experimented too much with cassoulet’s, but it’s good comfort Fall & Winter food and I’m all about getting more of that into us. A cassoulet is a rich, slow-cooked casserole originating in the south of France, containing any kind of meat and layering it with beans.
This simplified version is made in the slowcooker and is delicious apres ski, fireside, after a building snowmen, snowshoeing, an afternoon skate or a walk in the crisp Fall leaves. This dish warms your soul.
