This is a hearty and delicious cassoulet, with tons of flavor that tastes even better the following day! Serve this with crusty bread or rolls to soak up the juice. If you are not in a rush, then you can use 1 pound dry white beans for this in place of canned, see note on bottom, you can even prepare the dryed beans a day ahead to save time.

Steps:
- In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven cook the chopped bacon until crisp; transfer the bacon to a large bowl and discard all but 3 tablespoons fat from the pot.

- Add in the tomato paste and cook stirring for 1 minute.
- Add in chicken broth and tomatoes with juice; bring to a boil.
