Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 pound smoked sausages (cut into thin rounds)
- 0.5 pound thick-sliced good quality smoked bacon (diced)
- 2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds)
- 2 yellow onions (sliced into thin rounds)
- 3 large carrots (sliced into thin rounds)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large saucepan, combine the beef broth, sliced sausages, and bacon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove sausages and bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside; keep broth.
- Lightly grease a Dutch oven or casserole dish. Spread one-third of the potatoes on the bottom, followed by half of the onions and carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer the remaining ingredients: add half of the reserved sausages and bacon, then repeat the layers of potatoes, onions, and carrots twice more, seasoning each layer.
- Pour the reserved broth over the top. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, add 1/2 cup water if needed, and bake another 15 minutes until lightly browned.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and ladle into bowls.
