+====== Milk Can Supper ======
+/* Description */
+**Why this recipe works:** Traditionally, cowboys layered a mishmash of vegetables and meat (usually sausage) into a giant milk can and then cooked it over an open fire to feed the hungry masses. We opted for a Dutch oven instead but kept the basic technique: longer-cooking vegetables like potatoes and cabbage go on the bottom, closest to the heat, followed by more delicate onions and carrots. Green bell peppers are added halfway through the cooking time. Bratwurst was our sausage of choice, and we opted to brown it first to add flavor and create fond. Beer is the classic cooking liquid, and we enhance it with garlic, bay leaves, and thyme.

+====== Ingredients ======
+  * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
+  * 2 1/2 pounds bratwurst (10 sausages)
+  * 2 pounds small red potatoes, unpeeled
+  * 1 head green cabbage (2 pounds), cored and cut into 8 wedges
+  * 3 ears corn, husks and silk removed, ears cut into 3 pieces (can use frozen cobbettes)
+  * 6 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
+  * 1 onion, halved and cut through root end into 8 wedges
+  * 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
+  * 10 sprigs fresh thyme
+  * 2 bay leaves
+  * Salt and pepper
+  * 1 1/2cups beer
+  * 2 green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1-inch-wide strips (omit?)
+====== Directions ======
+  - Heat oil in 8-quart Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add bratwurst and cook until browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Transfer bratwurst to cutting board and halve crosswise.
+  - Place potatoes in single layer in now-empty Dutch oven. Arrange cabbage wedges in single layer on top of potatoes. Layer corn, carrots, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper over cabbage. Pour beer over vegetables and arrange browned bratwursts on top.
+  - Bring to boil over medium-high heat (wisps of steam will be visible). Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add bell peppers and continue to simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. (Use long skewer to test potatoes for doneness.)
+  - Transfer bratwurst and vegetables to large serving platter (or roasting pan, if your platter isn’t large enough); discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Pour 1 cup cooking liquid over platter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, passing remaining cooking liquid separately.
+====== Notes ======
+If corn is out of season, can use frozen corn cobbettes.  Put into pot frozen.

+If your Dutch oven is slightly smaller than 8 quarts, the lid may not close all the way when you start cooking. But as the contents of the pot cook, they will decrease in volume, so you’ll soon be able to clamp on the lid. Use small red potatoes, measuring 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Light-bodied American lagers, such as Budweiser, work best in this recipe.
