Yes, yes, I know it isn't really "cassoulet" but the recipe title was created along with the recipe by Mabel Hoffman in 1975 and she put it in her "Crockery Cookery" book.
Because I can't help myself I tweaked it to come up with my version so this is not the "pure" Mable Hoffman version. The flavor combo is really wonderful.
SLOW-COOKER CASSOULET
serves 6
1 chicken fryer, cut up (please use chicken with bones instead of boneless, skinless- the flavor is worth the hassle) about 4 lbs
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3 heaping Tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2-15 oz cans Cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained
1 lb Polish sausage or smoked sausage, sliced 1/2" thick
1/4 c dry white wine (I use dry Vermouth)
Place chicken in the slow cooker and sprinkle evenly with onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spoon beans and sausage on top. Pour on the wine, cover and cook on LOW 6 hours. Serve with small new potatoes or mashed potatoes.
