2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 cups beef or chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Add the sausages to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside. Layer the sliced potatoes and onions in the bottom of the skillet, alternating between the two. Place the cooked sausages on top of the potato and onion mixture, then arrange the cooked bacon slices on top. Pour the beef or chicken broth over the ingredients in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and cook the Coddle over low heat for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together. Once cooked, garnish the Coddle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
