Ingredients
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the quartered potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the browned sausages to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, add dried thyme and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
- 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.
