Dutch Oven-- Nine Mile Stew

1 pound Stew Meat

1 package stew seasoning

3 onions -- cut

6 potatoes -- sliced 1/8 inch

1 package carrots -- sliced

1 package celery -- sliced

2 green peppers -- sliced length way

sliced zucchini -- enough for one layer 1 pound sausage -- patties or links

1 pound 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.
