Easy Chicken and Sausage Cassoulet

Hubby and I have been doing quite a bit of fall cleaning recently. We’re trying to de-clutter our tiny Boston condo. After a productive Saturday afternoon of moving furniture around and cleaning, the last thing either of us wants to do is slave away in the kitchen to make dinner. Enter this Easy Chicken and Sausage Cassoulet recipe. With only about 20 minutes of prep work, it cooks for two hours in the oven. And while you’re off taking care of chores, dinner emits the most enticing smells from the oven.

    I’ll take any leftovers! They sound amazing. I keep saying dessert recipes with bacon and bookmarking them, but I haven’t tried any yet. Adding this one to the list now too. 🙂

    The frosting sounds amazing. I honestly still can’t bring myself to get behind bacon in desserts. Maybe someday I’ll try a bacon cupcake if I’m given one though. 🙂 I can only resist so long.

    This looks delicious but I’ve got to ask….what is a pirate party?

    Fun and Fearless – It’s exactly like it sounds… Everyone dresses up as a pirate (or something related – Hubby and I went as Treasure maps last year). They even hire this guy who looks like Captain Jack Sparrow to come and there’s a prize for best costume. One of the best parties of the year!

    Sounds great! The problem I’ve seen with bacon is that sometimes it is chewy in cupcakes. That’s not good. I like that this recipe says to cook until crispy. Extra crispy for me!

    I’m so curious to try bacon in baked goods, but do you think turkey bacon would work?

    Corrine – I’m sure turkey bacon would work if you could get it nice and crispy. I’ve heard that if the bacon isn’t super crispy, it has a really weird chewy texture in baked goods.

    Chocolate..caramel…bacon…PERFECTION.
    I am infatuated with the perfect smoky/salty addition of bacon into sweet baked goods. So delicious. Of course, I’m kind of a fan of adding bacon into just about anything.
    Great pics, def wanna try these out!

    Sorry the cupcakes didn’t turn out like you wanted. Have you ever tried the bacon/chocolate cupcake at Cherry Bomb Bakery in Brighton? They are fantastic!
