Crockpot Sausage & Potatoes

Crockpot Sausage & Potatoes (Easy Slow Cooker Recipe)

 Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs smoked sausage (like kielbasa), sliced into ½-inch rounds
• 700 g baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup chicken broth

 Instructions

1. Prep the ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Slice the sausage and chop the onions, garlic, and peppers.
2. Season the potatoes: In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Layer in the crockpot: Place the seasoned potatoes at the bottom. Add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Top with the sausage slices.
4. Add broth: Pour the chicken broth over everything.
5. Cook:
   • Low: 4 hours
   • High: 2 hours
     Stir halfway if you can, and check that the potatoes are fork-tender when done.
6. Serve warm: Garnish with parsley if you like and enjoy straight from the crockpot.

 Notes

• You can add onions and peppers for extra flavor — they soften beautifully.
• For a creamier version, some people mix in cream soup or broth before cooking.
• Tossing everything in the slow cooker in the morning means dinner’s ready later with minimal work.
