  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 large beef sausages, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces beef turkey bacon, chopped
  • 2 large yellow onions, roughly chopped
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, thickly sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the beef sausage pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove sausages with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped beef turkey bacon to the pot and cook until crispy. Remove turkey bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the pot. Set the turkey bacon aside.
  3. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the quartered potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Return the browned sausages to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, add dried thyme and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  8. Ladle the hot Coddle into bowls. Garnish with the crispy beef turkey bacon and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a thicker Coddle, you can mash a few potato pieces against the side of the pot with a spoon. Serve with crusty bread for dipping. You can also add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for extra flavor and nutrition.
