Very good flavor. Not a quick week night dinner. Didn't have white wine used chicken broth instead also used panko bread crumbs. Recipe was fabulous!

tsp. herbes de Provence

1/2

tsp. black pepper

Make It

COOK bacon in Dutch oven or large deep skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Pour drippings into small bowl. Return 1 Tbsp. drippings to pan. Add sausage; cook 6 to 8 min. or until evenly browned, stirring frequently. Transfer to large bowl, reserving drippings in pan. Toss pork chunks with herbs and pepper. Add to drippings; cook 6 to 8 min. or until evenly browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer to bowl with sausage.

ADD 1 Tbsp. of the reserved bacon drippings to pan. Add onions, celery and garlic; cook 5 min., stirring frequently to scrape browned bits from bottom of pan. Stir in tomatoes and wine; bring to boil on high heat. Return pork chunks, sausage mixture and reserved bacon to skillet; cover. Simmer on low heat 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min. or until pork chunks are tender. Remove from heat. Stir in beans. Spoon into 2-qt. casserole.

HEAT oven to 350ºF. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan and oil; sprinkle over casserole. Bake 25 to 30 min. or until casserole is hot and bubbly and topping is golden brown.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Herbs de provence is a blend of spices found in the spice aisle of the grocery store. If not available, you can use a mixture of 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves and 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary leaves instead.

Non-Alcoholic Version

Substitute chicken broth for the wine.

Chicken & Sausage Cassoulet

Prepare as directed, substituting 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs for the pork shoulder and reducing the simmering time with tomatoes and wine to 45 min.
