Description

This cozy Crockpot Kielbasa Potatoes and Green Beans recipe brings together smoky sausage, tender potatoes, and crisp‑tender green beans in a rich, savory broth. It’s a true set‑it‑and‑forget‑it comfort meal that fills your kitchen with incredible aroma. Perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, or any time you want a hearty, family‑friendly dinner with minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound kielbasa, sliced into 1/2‑inch rounds
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced (about 1 1/2–2 pounds)
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large crockpot, layer the sliced kielbasa, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic in the bottom of the insert.
  2. Add the trimmed green beans on top of the kielbasa and potato mixture, spreading them out evenly.
  3. Pour the chicken broth evenly over all the ingredients. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the top.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked to your liking.
  5. Once cooked, gently stir everything together to distribute the seasonings and broth.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, making sure each bowl gets a good mix of kielbasa, potatoes, and green beans.

Notes

  • Use low‑sodium broth and taste before adding extra salt—kielbasa can be quite salty on its own.
  • Keep potato pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly and don’t turn mushy.
  • If you prefer crisper green beans, add them during the last 1 1/2–2 hours of cooking instead of at the beginning.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Feel free to skim any excess fat from the surface of the broth before serving if desired.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
