Ingredients

• 12 ounces smoked sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 15 ounces canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), white beans, chicken broth, thyme, smoked paprika, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Return the browned smoked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

While the cassoulet simmers, toast the breadcrumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 10

After 20 minutes, remove the bay leaf from the skillet. Taste the cassoulet and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 11

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the cassoulet.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
