Bratwurst Stew

Directions

1. 1
   Cut brats into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. 2
   Brown in melted shortening in large skillet or Dutch oven.
3. 3
   When nicely browned, add potatoes, onion, undiluted soup and milk.
4. 4
   Mix well.
5. 5
   Cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are done.
6. 6
   Before removing from heat, add drained green beans and cheese.
7. 7
   Bring just to a boil and let simmer until beans are heated and the cheese is nicely melted and blended into the stew.
8. 8
   (You may use polish sausage instead of brats, in which case, no shortening is needed for browning.)
9. 9
   Chopped pimento adds color to the stew and is good with either choice of meat.
