Green Beans and Sausage
This recipe is a staple at our house! A fan favorite to all. Not only is it delicious but it is a crockpot meal so that makes it 10x better! You can make this meal just with the sausage and green beans or you can add cubed potatoes. If you want to elevate the meal even more swap out the cubed potatoes for sautéed pierogies.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:
- One pack smoked cheddar sausage, cut into 1/2″-1″ increments
- 1 bag frozen green beans OR 2 cans of green beans
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- *Optional 4-5 cleaned and diced potatoes
Let’s get cookin’!
In a saute pan, sear sausage and onions until they get a good, rich color.
Next, dump all of the ingredients into a crockpot (optional: with the potatoes on bottom if you decide to add potatoes) and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the potatoes are fork tender and enjoy! If you don’t add the potatoes, may I recommend sautéing pierogies to have as a side and some homemade, flaky, buttery biscuits?

This is an easy, delicious meal. We ate this frequently when I was growing up! Usually, we did not use green beans, but drained sauerkraut instead. And always with potatoes and buttered bread. The biscuits are a nice alternative., as are pierogis. Thanks Justin!
What about adding red and green peppers too ?
I’ve made something similar for years, but not in a crockpot. Definitely gonna try this with my usual seasonings!
You have saved my life.
My wife wants me to do more of the cooking since she works all and I am retired.
I never have any idea of what to fix but you have solved that issue.
Now I just show her the recipes that you provided and tell her to pick one and that is the one we will have for dinner.
Thank you so much my friend.

Made this for dinner tonight with the potatoes. Cooked it for 4 and 1/2 hours on high. In the Crock-Pot I added a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and no chicken broth but it was missing something. Not sure what but it was missing something and we added a lot of UFO salt and extra trash real pepper before we ate it so not quite sure what it was missing but so it was just very bland
