Ingredients

• 6-8 pork sausages
• 4 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup stout beer (optional)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.
5. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent.
6. Next, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
7. Return the cooked sausages and bacon to the skillet. Add the potatoes, carrots, chicken broth, and stout beer (if using).
8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
9. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
10. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
11. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
12. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
