  • Add carrots, broccoli and cabbage to the dutch oven, covering the spice bag.
  • Add the chopped bacon and sausage and onions on top.

Cook and Serve

  • Cover and cook on medium low cook top, 350° oven, or in coals of camp fire for about 45 minutes, or until potatoes are done.
  • Once done, use tongs or fork to remove Zatarain's bag and discard. Stir ingredients to combine and serve hot!
