Description

This Slow Cooker Sausage and Potato Casserole is the definition of cozy comfort food. Smoky sausage, tender potatoes, and green beans simmer low and slow in a creamy, savory sauce, then get finished with a blanket of melted cheddar. It’s hearty, budget-friendly, and wonderfully hands-off perfect for busy days, chilly nights, or feeding a hungry crowd with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced (about 1/2–3/4 inch pieces)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the insert of your slow cooker if desired to help prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the sliced smoked sausage evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Add the diced potatoes on top of the sausage, followed by the chopped onion and green beans, spreading each layer out evenly.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker, making sure everything is coated as much as possible.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Cover and cook just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Give the casserole a gentle stir if desired, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, then serve warm straight from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • You can peel the potatoes or leave the skins on, depending on your texture preference.
  • If using frozen green beans, there’s no need to thaw them first; add straight to the slow cooker.
  • Different brands of smoked sausage can vary in saltiness, so go easy on the added salt at first and adjust at the end.
  • The casserole will thicken slightly as it cools, making it even creamier and more scoopable.
