Calories: 405kcal
Ingredients
- 3 lb baby gold potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 14 oz smoked sausage
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
- Add the potatoes and onion to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Mix the onion soup mix, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half over the potatoes and toss.
- Add the sausage and green beans on top. Sprinkle with the garlic and the rest of the seasoning.
- Spread the butter pieces over the top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, stirring once or twice in the second half, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Taste and add salt only if needed. Rest uncovered for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- HIGH setting: cook for 4 to 5 hours.
- Don't add salt until the end. The sausage and soup mix are already salty.
- Using canned green beans? Drain only half the liquid.
- Using raw sausage? Brown it until fully cooked before adding.
- Lighter version: use chicken sausage and ¼ cup butter plus ½ cup low-sodium broth.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
