Dutch Oven -- Nine Mile Stew

1 lb Stew Meat

1 pk stew seasoning

3 onions -- cut

6 potatoes -- sliced 1/8

: inch 1 pk carrots -- sliced

1 pk celery -- sliced

2 green peppers -- sliced

: length way : sliced zucchini -- enough : for one layer 1 lb sausage -- patties or

: links 1 lb cheddar cheese

Put enough oil in the oven to cover the bottom. Sear the meat. Add the stew seasoning. Stir in onions. Cook for 20-30 minutes (12 coals on bottom and 6 on top) Layer from bottom to top: ~------------------------ - potatoes - carrots - celery - green peppers - zucchini Cook until vegetables are done (still crispy) (7-8 coals on top). Add the sausage on top. Cook approx. 15 minutes. Add the cheese. Serve when cheese is melted. This is not a precise recipe. I would encourage you to add and delete items and amounts as your taste`s dictate. Be sure the vegetables, these or the ones you may add, are stacked so the ones needing the most cooking time are on the lower levels. Don`t be tempted to add any liquid as there will be plenty from the vegetables and meat. The original recipe called for only 1/4 lb of stew meat, but I found that to be inadequate. Give yourself plenty of cooking time, but don`t be surprise if people want to know when it will be done, because the smell is fantastic. This is not a creation of mine but is definately a favorite.
