Slow Cooker Milk Can Supper

Here’s a slow-cooked version of a campfire classic. Pioneers and cowboys would cook this meal over a milk can on an open fire, letting the flavors and textures blend together.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
8 uncooked bratwurst links
2 pounds small yukon gold potatoes, quartered
1 small head cabbage, coarsely chopped
2 medium onions, quartered
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths
3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup light beer
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add sausages and cook until browned, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
Place potatoes in a single layer on the bottom of a 6-qt. slow cooker. Top with cabbage, onions, carrots and parsnips. Add thyme, garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Add sausages; pour beer and chicken broth over top. Cook, covered, 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaves before serving.
