Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 pound green beans cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 pound smoked sausage sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet onion soup mix 1 ounce
- 2 tablespoons Creole or Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 stick butter 1/2 cup, left whole and set on top
Instructions
- Put the cut potatoes in a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, then add the diced onion, green beans and sliced sausage.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle over the salt, pepper, garlic powder, Creole or Cajun seasoning and onion soup mix. Toss until everything is evenly coated, then set the stick of butter on top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have blended. Keep the lid on except to stir a couple of times. The dish is done when a food thermometer reads 165°F in the center.
- Stir well so the melted butter coats everything, taste and add more salt or pepper if needed, and serve right away.
Notes
Do not add water or broth. Leftovers: refrigerate within 2 hours, eat within 3 to 4 days or freeze 3 to 4 months. Reheat to 165°F, not in the slow cooker.
