Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork sausages
  • 1 pound bacon, chopped
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • to taste salt
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it's crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
  2. In the same skillet, brown the pork sausages on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove from the skillet and slice into thick pieces.
  3. In the slow cooker, layer the sliced potatoes, onions, carrots, and minced garlic.
  4. Add the cooked bacon and browned sausage pieces over the vegetable layer.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
  7. Once done, give the coddle a gentle stir to mix the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve piping hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
