Casserole-ing The world's greatest baked bean casserole. You'll simmer white beans with garlic, onions, bay leaf, and a whole clove. Then combine them with sautéed aromatic vegetables and bacon. What else is in there? Sausage, duck confit, diced tomatoes. "This is the world's greatest baked bean recipe, and a classic French dish," says Chef John. "It's perfect for a cold winter night."
