Easy and Delicious Slow Cooker Cassoulet image

I am married to a chef, but I can't cook. So I make a lot of food in my slow cooker when it's my night to cook. We love France and French cooking, and this recipe is a wonderfully simple, elegant cassoulet that even I can make and he loves. Wonderful for cold nights and dinner parties. Double the recipe for leftovers - it melds overnight very well.

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 slices turkey bacon
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped
¼ pound fully-cooked smoked sausage, diced

½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup tomato paste
3 (15 ounce) cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp and brown, turning often, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels; crumble when cool. Set bacon aside.
Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, sausage, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper; cook until chicken pieces are browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste.
