Ingredients

  • 6 each bratwurst
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 4 medium potatoes cubed or 1 (29oz) canned potatoes
  • 1 medium onions chopped
  • 15 ounces green beans 1 can
  • 10 3/4 ounces soup, cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup
  • 1 tablespoon salt J&D's Bacon salt (optional)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated

Method

  • Cut brats into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Brown in melted shortening in large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • When nicely browned, add potatoes, onion, undiluted soup and milk.
  • Mix well.
  • Cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are done.
  • Before removing from heat, add drained green beans and cheese.
  • Bring just to a boil and let simmer until beans are heated and the cheese is nicely melted and blended into the stew.
  • (You may use polish sausage instead of brats, in which case, no shortening is needed for browning.)
  • Chopped pimento adds color to the stew and is good with either choice of meat.
