One Pot Smoked Sausage, Green Beans And Potatoes
This sausage, green beans, and potatoes recipe is a go-to when I need dinner quick and easy. Everything cooks together, it’s packed with flavor, and it's really easy to customize for your own family's tastes.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces smoked sausage see notes
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds yellow potatoes Yukon gold is great, about 4-6 medium sized potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika smoked paprika will give you the best flavor but regular paprika can also be used
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound green beans I used fresh, rinsed and trimmed
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth low sodium
Instructions
- Slice the smoked sausage into small rounds that are about ½ inch thick. Dice the onion into small pieces between. Dice the potatoes into 1 inch chunks and set to the side.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Mix well and set to the side.
- Spray the inside of a large Dutch oven or deep pan with a lid with cooking spray and place over medium high heat. Add the smoked sausage to the pan. Cook stirring as needed until the sausage is brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set to the side.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot over medium high heat. Add potatoes and half of the seasoning mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Place green beans into the pot. Add the remaining seasoning and mix with the potatoes. Pour the chicken broth over the green beans. Cover and turn down the heat to medium. Cook covered for 15 minutes or until both the potatoes and green beans are tender.
- Add the sausage back to the pot, mixing well with the green beans and potatoes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Don't be afraid to swap out your favorite smoked sausage. You can use chicken, turkey, beef or pork sausage. Many of the four packs of smoked sausage have slightly less (usually 12 ounces instead of 14 ounces) but this won't drastically change the recipe.
If you need to further reduce the sodium in this recipe, you'll need to find a lower sodium sausage, as that is where most of the extra salt in this dish is.
I have more detailed instructions further up in the article for tips on how to use frozen green beans or canned green beans in this recipe.
