Simple Ingredients

Red or Yukon Gold Potatoes– cut in halves or quarters if not really small.
Fresh Green Beans– canned can be used instead.
Chicken Broth– adds lots of flavor. Use low-sodium if you need to watch salt intake.
Seasoned Salt– Adds so much more flavor than regular salt. I use Lawry’s Seasoned Salt.
Pepper
Smoked Sausage
Butter– added at the end for a buttery finish.

What Type Of Sausage To Use

My favorite sausage to use is kielbasa but you can use any type of smoked sausage.

How Long To Cook Crock Pot Sausage, Potatoes, and Green Beans

The potatoes take the longest to cook. They should take 4 to 5 hours on HIGH or 7 to 8 hours on LOW to get soft.

How To Make Spicy

To make this dish spicy, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the slow cooker. You can also serve with hot sauce.

Variations

Add 1 medium diced sweet onion.
Canned green beans can be used instead of fresh.
You can double the amount of smoked sausage for a meatier meal.
The bacon is added for flavor but can be left out.

Leftovers will keep for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a microwave.
