1 large fry pan w/ lid

3 tablespoons cooking oil

1 yellow onion, chopped small

1 garlic clove, sliced

1 (11 oz.) can cream of chicken

6 meat sausages – such as bratwurst  (The Mixed Stew used Cerdito pork sausage by Sausage Craft.)

 1 and 1/2 cup water

1 jalapeno, julienned sliced

Cooking and Directions:

Heat pan at medium-high heat.  Pour in ½ cup water.  Place uncooked sausages in pan. Let water reach a constant simmer and cover w/ lid.  Lower heat to medium.  Let sausages cook for 10 to 15 minutes.  Water should evaporate. Turn links occasionally.  Allow sausages to grill and fry once water dries up.  Remove finished fried sausages from pan.  Set aside.

Throw down onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers in pan w/ sausage drippings.  Let ingredients sautee until onion turn translucent.  Next, pour in zucchini and let them sautee until tender.  Pour in cream of chicken from can along with an equal amount of water.  Stir well.  Let chicken gravy heat through until it simmers.  Serve immediately with rice or mashed potatoes.
