Ingredients

• 2 pounds thick pork sausages (like Irish bangers or bratwurst)

• 8 ounces thick-cut bacon, chopped

• 2 pounds yellow potatoes, peeled and chopped into big pieces

• 2 large yellow onions, cut into thick slices

• 3 cups low-salt chicken or beef broth

Irish Sausage Coddle: Directions

1. Heat a big pan on medium. Cook chopped bacon till brown and crunchy, about 6-8 minutes. Scoop it out to a plate with paper towels. Keep the bacon fat in the pan.

2. Put sausages in the same pan. Brown them all around in the fat, 6-8 minutes. They don’t need to cook all the way—just get nice color. Move to a board, cool a bit, then cut into big chunks (2-3 per sausage).

3. In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, put half the potato chunks. Add half the onion slices. Sprinkle half the bacon on top.

4. Add half the sausage chunks. Layer the rest: potatoes, onions, bacon, and sausages on top so they show.

5. Pour broth over all. Liquid should cover most—okay if some sausage sticks out.

6. Cover and cook on Low 6-8 hours, or High 3-4 hours. Potatoes get soft, onions clear, broth bubbles.

7. Taste broth. Add salt and pepper if needed (bacon and sausage add salt). Stir gently once or twice—don’t mush potatoes.

8. Spoon into warm bowls with meat, bacon, potatoes, onions, and broth. Serve hot right away.
