1 cup potatoes, cleaned and cubed (1 medium)

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1 large bay leaf

1/2 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp black pepper

1-1/2 tsp seasoned salt, add plain salt to taste

1/4-1/2 tsp beef or pork bullion, to taste (optional)

 

Brown sausage and onions in about a medium-large pot.  Drain any drippings. Add remaining ingredients, stir and bring to boil.  Cover; reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.  Remove bay leaf before serving.  Enjoy!

 

*Venison Pan Sausage: Use 1 lb. ground venison or mix with 1/4 to 1/2 lb. ground pork to make 1 lb.  Basic seasoning is: 2 tsp. ground sage, 11/2  tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. ground red pepper, and 1 tsp. basil.  (Add up to 2 tsp. sugar or heat tolerant substitute, if desired.)  Let sit in refrigerator over-night or, at least several hours before pan frying so that seasoning permeates.
