Hey Fellow Foodies!
Still so Brrrrrrrrr in New England and it's the middle of April - Eeek! On the upside, a wonderful reason to make this lovely hearty stew! Another simple six ingredient recipe - and well, it doesn't get easier or better tasting than this! Sometimes the best recipes come from tossing a little bit of this, with a little bit of that... with a little bit of what is leftover... and Voila! Just like that, a favorite is created and filed away but not forgotten for sure... to be used again one day:)
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Italian sausage (hot variety was used for an extra kick!)
- 32 oz fat free & reduced sodium chicken broth
- 14.5 oz can diced tomato
- 2 cups of tater tots
- 1/4 cup barley
- 3 cups of water (reduce to two cups for a thicker consistency)
Instructions:
- remove the casing from the sausages, cut the sausage lengthwise, and then divide into 1/2 inch pieces
- add the sausage, chicken broth, tomato, and tater tots, barley, and water to a crock pot - cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Xox,
Marikym
