European Recipe ⊶ Sausage Coddle

We make this especially for St. Paddy's Day. This traditional Irish dish was originally prepared over a fire in a cast iron pot.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pork sausage links
• ½ pound smoked bacon, cubed
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 3 medium carrots, chopped
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 ½ cups Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
• ½ cup heavy cream

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Place the sausages and bacon into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until the sausages are browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Slice the sausages into large chunks, and set the sausage and bacon aside.
3. Place a layer of 1/3 of the onions in a 9x13-inch baking dish, followed by a layer of 1/3 of the carrots and sliced potatoes. Arrange 1/3 of sausage and bacon in a layer over the potatoes; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley. Repeat layers twice more. Warm the beef stock in a saucepan over medium heat, and pour in the stout beer and cream. Pour the sauce over the casserole, and let the sauce fill in the spaces in the layers.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
