The French know cassoulet as a classic, long-simmered dish consisting of white beans and various -- sausages, pork or goose. This version is a less time consuming spin on the classic.

This is my adapted version from the original. I made this one based on what I had on hand in the pantry. Both are good, it depends on what you're in the mood for.

This is my personal favorite because I used local Wisconsin Northwoods Mead from White Winter Winery. I was out of dry white and decided to give it a try. Obviously it changed the flavor and how I came up with name. Below is the link to their website if you're curious.

My name attests to my French heritage and I love a great French wine like anyone else. You know what they say, "cook with the wine you plan on drinking." I prefer to use local wine because it bring indoors a little of my outdoors.

Here in Wisconsin we have some wonderful Wineries. I listed a few of them in my profile and White Winter is among them. If you're feeling adventurous, order some Mead and give this a try. You wont be disappointed and it's not too sweet I promise.
