Irish Bacon, Sausage, Onion & Potato Dish
Not sure if this is Irish but it sounds good and hearty. For this you will need a large oven proof pot with a lid or foil to cover. To make this in a slow cooker, cut the ingredients in half and cook on High setting for 4 hours.
Ingredients
- 2 kilo potatoes, washed and cut into large pieces
- 2 onions, peeled and thickly sliced
- 500 grams sausage, spicy smoked sausage, bangers, or brats would work
- 500 grams bacon
- 2 1/8 cups water
- 1 tablespoon beef stock powder
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Use hot water from your hot water pot and dissolve the beef powder in a sauce pan.
- Grill or broil the sausage and bacon to color them, do not over cook or dry them out, drain on paper towels. When drained, cut the bacon into 1 inch pieces, cut the sausage into large pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 150 C. Using large oven proof pot, layer the ingredients in this order: onion, bacon, sausage, potatoes. Season each layer with pepper and parsley. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
- Heat the water with beef stock in it to boil, then pour this into the large pot and cover with a lid or foil. Place the pot in the oven and cook for at least 3 hours (4 to 5 hours does not hurt either). At the 2 hour point, check the liquid level in the point, you want about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot at all times. Serve, liquid at the bottom is your gravy.
Notes
The sausage, spicy smoked sausage runs about 125 Baht/500 grams, English Bangers, pork or beef will run about 100 Baht/500 grams. Brats will run about 180 Baht/500 grams. Bacon will cost about 200 to 280 Baht/500 grams. Using Bangers, this comes out to about $1.88 per serving for 6 servings. Over all, not a bad cost for a hearty meal.
