This delicious dish is great for busy nights when you don't have much time to devote to dinner. It's a quick-to-fix version of a traditional French cassoulet that was an instant hit with my husband, who enjoys smoked sausage. Just mix everything together and bake. The heavenly aroma will draw your family to the table. Kim Lowe, Coralville, Iowa

Well if it was up to me I would have only gave it 2 stars because I did not like it at all but my husband loved it. I will not be making it again though.

I have made this recipe several times over the years. Its great for a potluck or dinner on a chilly fall or winter night served with a crusty bread. I always put in my crock pot and let cook on low, It turns out great every time.

Excellent flavor! I vary the vegetables substituting rutabega or butternut squash for carrots. Sometimes I use all three. Leftovers are the best!

I have made this a lot of times and we absolutely love it. I cook it longer than the directions say to, but otherwise I don't have to doctor the recipe. YUM!!

We make this recipe fairly often. Love it! Even made it for company a couple of times. I have had real cassoulet in a restaurant in southern France, and this isn't quite the same, but it's still yummy. Someone needs to update the nutrition info though--do you see it says 0 grams of fiber? That's hilarious. Must be some other version without all the beans.
