Directions: |
Directions:1. Brown the sausage links in a pan. Then cut them in little bite- size pieces. 2. Place the sausage, chicken broth, garlic, potatoes, and onion in a slow cooker. Add enough water to cover the veggies and meat. 3. Cook on high 3-4 hours ( or low for 5-6) until the potatoes are soft. 4. 30 minutes before serving: Mix the flour into the cream, stirring to get rid of the lumps. Cook on high or until it thickens a little.
Serve with an Italian/ French loaf. It's always nice to have the meal DONE when you walk in the door after a busy day.
