Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken sausage links (i used spinach & feta flavor)
3-4 large potatoes (any kind), cut in large chunks
1 onion, cut in chunks
1 lb fresh green beans
1 red pepper, cut in large chunks
20 baby carrots (or 3 whole carrots cut in chunks)
2-3 apples, cut in large chunks (i used granny smith)
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
1 c beer (any kind, i used lite)
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1-2 tsp minced garlic (or to taste)
2 tsp montreal chicken seasoning
1 Tbsp chicken stock (i like knorr's homestyle stock)
1 tsp black pepper

Steps:

1. Begin to layer the ingredients in your crock pot. I did potatoes first, half the onions, apples, red pepper, carrots, rest of onions, green beans and sausage on top. Put cinnamon stick on top for the essence (optional).
2. Whisk the beer with mustard, montreal chicken seasoning, garlic, chicken stock, and black pepper. Pour over top. I also threw some caraway seeds over top, just because I had them.
3. I cooked for about 4-5 hours on high. Temp time will need to be adjusted according to your crockpot. I didn't want the broth to be thick; if you do, you could add some cornstarch or flour, I'm sure.
