This stew never lasts long when I make it. But that's okay, because when you do the math, this stew is incredibly cheap to make! Not only is it cheap - but the taste is out of this world. It's savory. It's delectable. It's made in a crockpot. What else could you ask for?
Brown Brew Stew
Sausage, cabbage, potatoes... and beer!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (14 ounce) package beef smoked sausage, cut into bite-size slices
2 tablespoons onion powder
½ head small cabbage, halved again, cored and thinly sliced
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon fennel
A pinch of salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or 2 tablespoons pre-chopped garlic
1 cup brown ale (we use Bell's Best Brown Ale)
2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed to bite-size pieces
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
You'll also need...
A crockpot, cutting board, frying pan among other utensils.
Directions:
1) Cut your sausage into bite sized pieces. You'll also want to get your frying pan going with the tablespoon of olive oil.
yes, I used a steak knife. ha! |

after! |
4) Next, add the pepper, fennel, pinch or so of salt, the garlic, and the other tablespoon of onion powder. Stir to combine.
yum. |
6) Now, let it cook for at least 4 hours on high. This will mellow out the strong beer smell, as well as the ACV.
Yum, looks good!
