Majestic Sausage Stew

This stew is guaranteed to warm up any chilly evening!

1&1/2 lbs. pork sausage links, cut into circles
3 T. butter
1/2 cup chopped sweet* onions
1 T. flour
1 cup low sodium* beef broth
1 lb. red* or Yukon Gold* potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups sliced carrots
1 t. sea* salt
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 t. fresh thyme leaves*
1 bay leaf

Lightly brown the sausage in a heavy saucepan. Remove and reserve. Pour off the fat. Melt the butter in the saucepan, sauté the onions for 5 mins. Blend in the flour, then stir in the broth until the mixture boils. Add the sausage, potatoes, carrots, S&P, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat 20 mins. Serve with warm cornbread (I always put chopped mild green chiles and shredded cheddar in mine*).

"The trick is to recognize a good thing when you see it, no matter how odd or worthless it might at first appear - no matter who else might just walk away and leave it behind."

Have FUN today!!!
