MRS. CLAUS'S CASSEROLE
I found this recipe in a magazine some 20 yrs ago. It is a delicious, hearty meal for a cold winter's night. I reduce the fat content by using a non-stick pan and pouring off half of the bacon fat. It is easy to stretch the recipe by adding more potatoes and carrots. I use a 4 qt. "everything" pan with a non-stick finish. From Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage and Polish Kielbasa. I add 1 clove of minced garlic, for a little extra kick. I leave out the celery, that's my preference. My family likes it with a dollop of Dijon mustard on the side. I also cook the broccoli on the side.

Steps:
- In a large heavy skillet, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon. Blot the bacon with a paper towel and set aside. (This is where I drain off half the bacon fat.)
- Add the potatoes, celery, onion and carrots to the bacon fat in the pan. Stir to coat with the bacon fat. Fry over medium heat. Add 1 clove of garlic, minced. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally. The original recipe says to fry uncovered. I use a lid, because it cooks faster and comes out softer.
- When the vegetables are tender, place the broccoli and sausage on top. Cover and heat for 12-15 minutes until thoroughly heated. The broccoli will steam with the sausage. Crumble the cooked bacon on top before serving.
