Crock Pot Sausage, Potatoes, and Green Beans makes an easy one-pot southern dinner.
A few strips of bacon are added for some smoky flavor. Serve with a side of cornbread for a delicious southern meal.
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.
Quick Prep Time
This is just a chop and dump recipe. No need to pre-cook anything. Just add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and turn it on.
Equipment Needed

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.

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.

Can I use italian sausage
I only have beef broth. Can that be used in place of chicken broth?
Yes, but beef broth has a stronger flavor. If that is a concern, replace the chicken broth with half water, half beef broth.
We LOVE this and have shared this recipe with many. I do use andouille sausage out of preference. This is comfort food!!
I made it I’m sure it will be delicious I’m having it for supper tonight.
Can I use Carrots instead of Green Beans?
We made this the first time and we loved it. So we made it again and doubled everything so we could have leftovers it’s just so good.
Thanks

This is a family favorite recipe at our house, but I also add onion to mine.
