Show:  Melting Pot
Episode:  Eastern European - Beer Makes it Better
1 tablespoon oil
8 ounces slab bacon, cut into large dice
1 pound pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, thinly sliced
12 ounces light German beer
12 ounces chicken stock, or more, to cover
1 pound garlic sausage, sliced 1/4-inch thick

In a large casserole, heat the oil, brown the bacon and pork, remove from the pan, and set aside. Add the onions and saute over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the browned meat, beer, and enough chicken stock to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes.
