Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Red potatoes
- 2 pounds Carrots
- 6 ears Sweet corn (on the cob)
- 1 head Cabbage
- 2 medium Onions
- 3 pounds Smoked sausages
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables: scrub and quarter the red potatoes, peel and cut the carrots into large chunks, shuck and break each corn cob into halves or thirds, core and quarter the cabbage, and peel and slice the onions.
Cut the smoked sausages into 4-inch pieces.
In a large cream can (or a large stockpot with a lid if a cream can is unavailable), layer the ingredients starting with the potatoes at the bottom.
Add the carrots as the next layer, followed by the corn pieces and cabbage quarters.
Place the smoked sausage pieces on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Slice the stick of butter into smaller pieces and distribute it across the top of the ingredients.
Pour 2 cups of water into the can or pot to prevent sticking and aid in steaming.
Cover the cream can or pot tightly with its lid. If using a cream can, place it over an open flame or campfire. For a stockpot, use medium heat on a stovetop or outdoor cookstove.
Cook for about 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the sausages are heated through. Avoid stirring during the cooking process to preserve the layered structure.
Carefully remove the lid (beware of hot steam) and serve the Cream Can Supper straight from the pot. Enjoy!
