Ingredients
  

Crock Pot Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans
  • 2 lb smoked sausage
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes
  • 1 lb fresh green beans
  • 1 onion
  • 4 garlic
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.25 fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Prep and layer
  1. Lightly grease the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the baby potatoes to the bottom in a single layer.
  3. Layer the sliced sausage, green beans, and onions over the potatoes.
Make the garlic butter seasoning
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture evenly over the ingredients so everything cooks with seasoning.
Slow cook
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender; no temperature changes needed during cooking.
Finish and serve
  1. Gently stir everything together to evenly distribute the sauce and seasonings.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: halving baby potatoes helps them cook evenly, so you get tender bites without mush. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Freezing is possible for up to 2 months, though green beans may soften after thawing. For a lighter option, use chicken broth and reduce butter to 2 tbsp (keep the seasoning amounts the same).
