Campfire Casserole–smoked sausage, yellow potatoes, sweet corn, barbecue sauce and cheddar made in your Instant Pot or Crockpot.
Campfire Casserole
This reminds me of something that you’d eat out of a dutch oven at camp. It’s simple, yet delicious. The best part about it is that you don’t have to make a fire and cook it for an hour or two only to find that the potatoes are still raw. With your Instant Pot you can be enjoying this dinner in just a few minutes 🙂
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Olive oil–or canola, vegetable
- Beef smoked sausage–or kielbasa
- Onion–or shallot
- Garlic
- Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon chicken base
- Yukon gold potatoes–or red, peeled russets
- Black pepper
- Kosher salt
- Barbecue sauce–I used Sweet Baby Rays

Steps
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the oil and swirl around. Add in the smoked sausage and onion and saute for 4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
Evenly add in the potatoes. Sprinkle them with the pepper and salt. Dump in the barbecue sauce and corn.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips
- Serve with cornbread and spinach or collard greens.
- This recipe can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free barbecue sauce.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with frozen sweet corn are cockadoodle casserole and busy wife delight.
- For a better tasting slow cooker version brown the sausage and saute the onions before slow cooking.
