Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into eighths or bite-sized pieces
- 1 yellow onion, chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 1 pound green beans
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Meat
- 16 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Dairy
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pats
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Cut the Yukon gold potatoes into eighths or small bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Chop the yellow onion into roughly 1 inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely to distribute the flavor well.
- Layer potatoes and onions: Place the prepared potatoes and chopped onion into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning and minced garlic over them, then stir gently to evenly coat all the pieces with seasoning.
- Add sausage and green beans: Arrange the sliced smoked sausage on top of the potatoes and onions. Then, layer the green beans over the sausage. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the green beans, and pour the Worcestershire sauce on top for added depth of flavor. Finally, distribute the pats of butter over the entire mixture.
- Cook in slow cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3.5 to 4 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. The dish is ready when the potatoes are tender and flavors are well blended.
- Mix and serve: Once cooked, stir everything together gently to combine all the ingredients and flavors. Serve warm in bowls for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to hold shape well during slow cooking.
- If you prefer spicier dishes, increase the amount of Cajun seasoning.
- Fresh green beans work best, but frozen can be substituted, adding them during the last hour of cooking to avoid over-softening.
- For a lower fat version, reduce the butter amount or use a light butter alternative.
- This dish is best served fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated within 2 days.
