Everything’s sexy with spices. At least that is how I feel and I can have spicy almost every night of the week. Mexican Cassoulet is a really easy dish to make especially when you add Chipotle Meatless Sausage. The spicy is already packed inside.

- Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to medium and cook the liquid down by about half.
- At this point you can turn this into a stew as in the photo below by adding 1 cup vegetable broth.
- Add the beans and heat through.

- Let cool to room temperature.
- Package in rigid sided containers as defined in my article http://veganinthefreezer.com/preparing-food-for-the-freezer
- TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
- Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator overnight because it is a pretty solid mass and will take longer to defrost.
- The night of serving -
- Put all in a large saucepan and heat through. You can add more broth if you think it is too thick.
- Ready to serve.
