Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound smoked sausage sliced
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes halved
  • 12 ounces green beans trimmed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker (for cooking)
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Add the halved potatoes to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Layer the sausage and green beans on top.
  3. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder, then add the broth.
  4. Top with the butter pieces.
  5. Cook on low 6 hours or on high 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Tip: Cut the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.

Notes

Taste before adding extra salt; Cajun seasonings vary in saltiness.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce.
