The garlic-infused tomato sauce perfectly complements the white beans that have absorbed the savory flavor of bacon! Using canned beans saves time! This is an easy and delicious stew.
The story behind this recipe
Canned white beans were just $1.20 at Kaldi! Great value! My French husband made this stew for us. You can also find a video on our YouTube channel, 'Our Home is a French Bistro', so feel free to cook along with us!
