Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sausages, sliced
- 3/4 pound bacon, chopped
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped into large chunks
- 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausages and bacon for 5-7 minutes until lightly caramelized.
- Transfer the meat to your slow cooker, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the skillet.
- Add onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Place potatoes in the slow cooker, then top with the onion-garlic mixture.
- Pour beef broth over everything and sprinkle with parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Tips: For extra flavor, add a splash of Guinness beer with the broth. Substitutions: Pork sausages work well if you can’t find beef. Sweet potatoes can replace russets for a twist. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
