Steps:
- 1. Brown the sausage, after browning the sausage, remove as much of the grease from the sausage as you can with paper towels. Bias cut the sausage into ¾ inch pieces and place in the crock pot.
- 2. Scrub clean and dice into slightly larger than bite size the potatoes, place in crock pot.
- 3. Take your 2 stalks of Celery and the 2 Carrots, scrub clean removing the undesired portions by trimming the celery and carrots, then rough chop them and place them in the crock pot. Rough chop your ½ of a white onion, toss that right in too!
- 4. Add mushrooms, frozen or fresh green beans, and all other fluids in the ingredient list.
- 5. Add all recommended spices, give it a good stir to mix it all up in the crock pot, cover it and cook
- 6. Crock pots vary in cooking times, mine runs a higher temperature than most. But as a general rule, allow at minimum 7 hours on low setting, or if you need it quicker, then go at least 4 hours on high.
- 7. Try to combat the temptation to take the lid off and check the progress of the cooking too often, this will extend cooking times and will also diminish flavor. However, half way through your desired cook time, give it another good stir, cover and walk away.
