Crumble bulk sausage into a skillet and cook over medium heat until browned: drain thoroughly on paper towels. (If sausage in casing is used, slice thin before cooking.)
Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat.
Peel jicama, cut into cubes.
Add to skillet and saute 5 minutes.
Mix all ingredients in a 3 or 4 quart casserole or pan or crockpot. Cover and bake at 350°F. 1-2 hours. (Crockpot – high 1-2 hours, low 2-12 hours).
Serve hot with green salad and bread.
Notes
Chutney is essential for the complex spice flavor. Voted #1 dish at bean buffet. Casserole may be made without meat.
