Ingredients

• 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or similar), sliced

• 1 lb green beans, trimmed

• 1 lb potatoes, cubed or baby potatoes halved

• 1 medium onion, chopped (optional)

• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• Optional: smoked paprika, onion powder, parsley, grated cheese

Instructions

1. Place the potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.

2. Add the green beans and sliced smoked sausage.

3. Add the onion and garlic if using.

4. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices.

5. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the ingredients.

6. Top with the butter pieces.

7. Cover and cook:

   • LOW: 6–7 hours

   • HIGH: 3–4 hours
     until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Tips

• Cut potatoes into similar sizes for even cooking.

• Fresh green beans hold their texture best; if using canned, add them during the last hour.

• Butter adds richness to the broth.

• Use well-seasoned smoked sausage for the best flavor.

• Serve hot on its own or with bread.
