Dublin Coddle

 I made half of this recipe with carrots (in the oven) for two of us but omitted the bacon as Ricky can't chew it. Nice on a cold day. Need to add more liquid as it had almost boiled dry.


  • 6 ounces bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • Optional carrots

  1. Cook the bacon in a large saucepan and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.
  2. Add the sausage and brown on all sides before setting aside.
  3. Add the onion to the saucepan and cook until tender.
  4. Sprinkle the potatoes on top of the onions, followed by the bacon, sausage and the broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 - 1 1/2  hours. (Option: Transfer the pot to a preheated 350F/180C oven and roast, covered, for 1 - 1 1/2  hours. OR Transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.)

Season with salt and pepper to taste, mix in the parsley
