PARRISH SAUSAGE POTATO STEW

My friend's daughter is at El Centro training with the Blue Angels. Last week a sweet lady brought an amazing lunch to them that she just had to write home about. Thankfully, she included the recipe and thankfully, my friend shared it with me. The word that I got was that this smelled absolutely amazing as it was cooking and tasted soooo good. We prepared it for dinner tonight and I have to say we were definitely not disappointed.  Not only did it smell unbelievably good and not only was it delicious, it was an easy meal to put together after work. You could even prepare it in a slow cooker if you wanted to have a nice hot meal waiting for you when you got home from work.   

I took some liberties with the original recipe that she sent to me so I will present it to you as we prepared it.  We started by slicing a pound of turkey kielbasa and a pound of Hot Italian Sausage and browning it in a large pot.

Remove the sausage from the pot and drain.  To the same pot, add a small amount of oil and 4 onions that have been sliced and separated into rings and a 10 oz. package of baby bella mushrooms that have been sliced.

 Sauté a few minutes, adding salt and pepper.  Add 3 cloves of minced garlic...

and 1 pound of fresh green beans, snapped.

Sauté until veggies begin softening.

Add a pound of new potatoes that have been washed and quartered...

...a 32 oz. container of Beef Broth...

 and 1 tablespoon of basil...

and the cooked sausage.  Cover and simmer until potatoes are done.
