Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
- 16 to 24 ounces Smoked Sausage sliced
- 2 pounds little potatoes I use a mixture little reds & yellows - if they are larger I cut them in half - washed
- 2 pounds fresh green beans cleaned and trimmed - cut larger ones in half
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt to taste this will depend on the cajun seasoning - I use anywhere from ½ to 1 teaspoon
- 1 stick of salted butter cut into pats
Instructions
- In a large skillet, saute sliced smoked sausage to get a nice color and extra flavor. This is optional!
- Place potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add sausage on top of the potatoes. Then add diced onion.
- Next, add the green beans and sprinkle with seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt if using.
- Toss everything together.
- Place sliced pats of butter all over the top.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve and enjoy

Notes
- Use canned green beans instead of fresh: Swap in 3 to 4 cans of drained green beans for convenience. Just note they’ll be softer in texture.
- Swap potatoes for what you have: Regular potatoes work just fine, just cut them into quarters so they cook evenly.
- Change up the seasoning: Not a fan of Cajun? Try a packet of onion soup mix or ranch seasoning for a different flavor twist.
- Add extra veggies: Carrots or bell peppers can be tossed in for added color and flavor.
- Use a different sausage: Kielbasa or turkey sausage both work great depending on your preference.
