Again, Keven, thank you for this excellent recipe.  My husband and I had a "traditional" French Dinner Party with ten guests this past weekend. Everyone raved!  I tweaked your recipe by removing skin from the chicken thighs, leftover ham, and used mild Italian sausage.   Merci beaucoup for sharing your recipe!!!!

I made this delicious dish last week for a couple of friends and we were scraping our bowls...it was so good!  Merci!!

I just took it out of the oven. The black beans are wonderful😋 Thank you for this delicious recipe.

We absolutely loved it even better when kept in fridge for a day off so and just add a little creme fraiche yummy

I am of French ancestry and lucky enough to be able to trace ONE line of family back to 1515 or so. Last year I tried an even easier cassoulet recipe from Susan Brown Draudt's book (from the 1980s) "30 Minute Meals". It left me uninspired. It is a stovetop edition with lamb and pork, not duck (or chicken).

THIS year, my new annual Xmas Eve tradition (of 2 years) of Christmas Cassoulet was enhanced with your recipe.

THANK YOU, and happy new year.
