Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans
I saw a recipe for foil packets that had sausage, potatoes and beans in it. I thought it sounded good but in all reality I would probably never make them since I don’t really camp or use my grill that often. I decided to transform the recipe into a one pot Instant Pot meal. It worked out perfectly and the flavors were so scrumptious.
I don’t like cajun seasoning. If you’re not a fan of cajun seasoning your could use kielbasa sausage instead of andouille and use a different seasoning like montreal chicken seasoning or lemon pepper seasoning.
Where did you find your sausage? There are all sorts of types of sausage. For example chicken sausage with apples or kielbasa sausage. They look like plump hot dogs and come in a 12 ounce package. Really you could use any kind of sausage that you want. I chose an andouille cajun style sausage. I found mine in the grocery store by the bacon and other cured meats.
Can I use canned green beans? No. Don’t do it! Fresh green beans taste so great in this meal so use fresh. Plus canned green beans would get really mushy.
I don’t like mushrooms. It’s fine. You don’t have to add mushrooms in. You can definitely leave them out.
Can I use another type of potato besides red potatoes? You can. Yellow potatoes will cook at the same rate as red potatoes. Russet potatoes will take a bit longer and I would peel the russet potatoes if I were you. Add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time for russet potatoes.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?
To make Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Made this tonight and it was quick, easy and delicious! Used kielbasa instead of andouille and no Cajun seasoning so not spicy but still sooo good.
★★★★★
Good! I’m glad you figured out how to make it work for you and your family!
This was yummy! Husband had 3 helpings, I had two. I took some advice from other reviews and cut the salt and seasonings a bit. It was perfect and so easy!
★★★★★
So glad you both enjoyed it!
I made this for my husband and I for dinner. I was hesitant with the short cooking time but it was perfect. The potatoes and green beans were soft and since we used a precooked sausage ring that’s all the time the meat needed. It was a little too spicy but we also used a Cajun sausage ring. I’d maybe cut back on the spice next time or go with a smoked sausage.
★★★★
Good plan!
I read the comments on cooked and uncooked sausage. Can you clarify that in the recipe. I just started this in my pot figured if it had time to cook the potatoes, it would cook the sausage. But now I am wondering.
There was 2-3 ads inside the black recipe rectangle. Is there anyway to stop that? It’s irritating!
There are always ads along the right side of the recipe outside the rectangle, but that ‘s OK, just not inside the recipe space.
Hope you can get it fixed. Joyce Pruhs
Hi Joyce next time will you email me a screen shot so I can share with my ad company? Thank you.
I didn’t feel like cooking or going to the store, I wanted something easy, with ingredients that I had on hand. I goggled Instant Pot Kielbasa and Potatoes, and up popped this recipe. I always try to follow a recipe exactly as written the first time, unless I don’t have all of the ingredients. Needless to say, I didn’t have andouille sausage (my favorite), mushrooms, fresh green beans or chicken broth. I did have kielbasa (not a fan), frozen green beans and Better Than Bouillon (tasty but VERY salty.) I also added a sweet onion, a large garlic clove and omitted the salt. Other than those substitutions, I followed the recipe to a tee. The sausage and potatoes were cooked perfectly and the amount of Cajun seasoning was just right! The frozen beans were overcooked, but that’s how I like them; “cooked to death green beans”. This meal was so easy, fast and delicious; I ate the kielbasa and loved it! My son loved it too! I can’t wait to make it again with the andouille sausage, fresh green beans and mushrooms! Thank you, Karen, for this great recipe!!
★★★★★
Glad your version worked! It sounds great!
Do you think frozen green beans would work?
★★★★★
yes probably
Too mushy. I like my beans crisp. I should have known.
★
I never reply to recipes but this one is so good I have to.
What I did was double the sausage (2 packs of chicken andouille sausage from Trader Joe’s) and brown it first.
I cut the cajun seasoning in half since the sausage already has so much spice.
Everything else I followed to the T.
After everything was in the IP I place a couple halved ears of corn on top and cooked it all up.
Everything came out perfect.
★★★★★
Thanks for your comment!! Glad it came out perfect for you 🙂
Hi! I’m dying to make this recipe but I don’t have a instant pot and I wanted to make it without using a crock pot as well. Is there a good recipe for just a stove top? Thank you!
You could experiment! I bet you could also roast everything.
I made this and it is a great recipe but my husband thought it needed a sauce or something. Would anyone have any suggestions for some kind of a sauce? Even something I could make on the stove while the food was in the Instant pot. Thanks.
You could use the drippings in the pot and thicken with cornstarch for a gravy type of sauce.
I served it right out of the pot the first time and I think that’s why he didn’t get any broth. I guess next time I’ll put it in a serving bowl and have more broth. It’s definitely something I’ll make again!
This is much like a recipe I used to help an older neighbor make when I was a child . She did not use any pressure cooker/instant pot but the biggest pot in the kitchen. She also used corn on the cob across the top at the last few minutes and cut up smoked pork shoulder in the bottom and then put the green beans and the potatoes. I use a slow cooker,, cajun sausage,frozen green beans,water or chicken broth as well as potatoes. So glad to see the IP directions,,,Now can add the potatoes with no worries!!!
★★★★★
How cool! Thanks for sharing.
Can you add the corn on the cob as well on the top with the same amount of time?
Yes I believe that would work!
Your recipe doesn’t state – before you cut the andouille sausage into 1/4” slices, is it raw or cooked? I can’t imagine 3 minutes in the pressure cooker is enough to cook the sausage?
Sausage is usually cooked already, just needs to be heated. I’m making this today and night the sausage last night.
Yes it’s just the pre-cooked smoked sausage stuff.
I just made this today with beef smoked sausage and everything else according to the recipe and it is amazing!
Glad you liked it!
If I make 1/2 of this recipe, would I use the same amount of chicken broth?
I would just to ensure that the pot comes to pressure.
Super quick, delicious dish! I used kielbasa instead of andouille and forgot to purchase mushrooms but otherwise followed recipe as written. Perfect cooking time and tons of flavor. Next time I think I’ll brown the sausage a little first, but otherwise this recipe is perfect! We had fresh picked green beans and small new potatoes for the dish and I served it with sliced garden fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. Such a nice, no fuss summer meal an no heating up the kitchen to cook it!!!!
★★★★★
It does sounds like the perfect summer meal to me 🙂
This was so easy to make and tastes awesome. I halved the cajun seasoning after reading comments but followed everything else. Thickened the juice with cornstarch. I prepped all the veggies the day before so just dumped it all in and hot start. Very impressed!!
★★★★★
GREAT! Thanks for sharing your experience.
We loved this! I mad e a few adaptations using kielbasa in lieu of andouille and Greek seasoning for the Cajun. I also added 1/2 onion chunked and a package of real bacon pieces I had for salads. I used about 1 TBSP of bacon grease to sauté onions and sausage prior to cooking and left my potatoes in halves since they were small. Truly a great recipe I will be using again!!
★★★★★
your version sounds great!
My wife loves this recipe and I have gastroparesis so I have to be very careful about what I eat. I made this exactly as written with Kielbasa sausage and Montreal Chicken seasoning. The green beans (which I am not supposed to eat.) were easily digestible and the meal was delicious.
Oh how great! Thanks for sharing Henri.
Help! I have this on my recipe list for this week, but was just told to eliminate dairy from my diet to see if it helps my son who is exclusively breastfeeding. Could I replace the butter with something? Maybe coconut oil?
You could just use olive oil.
Oh my WOW! I made this tonight. I’m always looking for new things to make in my instapot. My husband just picked a ton of green beans from the garden. I didn’t add the mushrooms because I’m not a huge mushroom fan. I think next time I will use less Cajun seasoning because I’m a wimp with spicy stuff, but this was great! This will definitely be a staple when our fresh green beans come in! Thank you!!
★★★★★
I bet fresh green beans from the garden would taste so great!
awesome! we (my wife) wondered if potatoes would be done, but everything was fantastic. next time we will use low sodium broth.
★★★★★
Made this last night- soooooo good! I doubled the sausage and used baby portobello mushrooms and kept everything else the same. Next time I will cook it for only 2 minutes as 3 minutes had the potatoes and green beans a little too soft for me but it was still yummy! Will definitely make it again.
★★★★★
I love the idea of mushrooms!
So delicious! My husband was skeptical about the instant pot being able to cook potatoes in a short amount of time…. he went back for seconds
★★★★★
So glad you liked it!
Made this about a month ago. Didn’t have Cajun spice so used red pepper flakes and my own blend of seasonings. Used asparagus instead of green beans. Turned out delicious!! Asparagus was a little too soft so when I make this tonight, I’ll use maybe a minute less of time. Can’t wait to dig in to it again!!
★★★★★
I love those ideas!
Can you use frozen green beans? If so, do I need to change the cooking time?
I believe you can. I haven’t tried it myself. Keep the same cooking time.
I did this with frozen green beans (and also frozen corn/ carrots) I just stirred them in as apart of step 5 right after I open the lid. This way the veggies don’t get soggy
★★★★★
I bought my IP about 6 months ago and have only cooked soups. I made this today for lunch and it turned out great. A little spicy for my wife put perfect for me. Who would have thought something so simple and quick would taste so good. Thanks. 🙂
So glad to hear this Ed! Thanks for sharing.
Im about to try this right now! Im headed to the store for the ingredients and will brb with my results@@@
hope you liked it!
How did it turn out? I’m thinking this is dinner tomorrow night
My fourth meal in my new pot…and by far the best! Delicious! Thank you!
(I’ve done a roast, boiled dinner, ribs…all were good but this was fantastic!)
★★★★★
Nice!! Thanks for sharing.
Low pressure or high pressure?
high
This was fantastic!!! So easy & delicious!!
★★★★★
Glad you liked it Teresa!
Fantastic recipe!!! Thanks for sharing!
★★★★★
You’re welcome!! 🙂
I am doubling JUST the sausage (not potatoes or beans – and not doing mushrooms). How do I go from there? Do I need to double broth? And what about cooking time? Thanks
Use the same amount of broth. Keep the cooking time the same.
Does the sausage have to be pre cooked or can you use fresh, uncooked sausage
You could but you’d need to brown it first.
So why was browning the sausage off FIRST NOT in the recipe??? It’s my first time using it and I hope it turns out!!!!!
I used a smoked sausage, that was already cooked. If you use an uncooked version you’ll probably want to brown it first for color and depth of flavor. If you don’t brown it it will still get cooked through.
Hi Karen. I just made this great recipe. I came out perfect. I did leave out the salt and used crimini mushrooms instead of white mushrooms. Everything was as per your recipe. Thank you so very much for this recipe and all the other ones you post. Your site is my go-to site for recipes and information on IPs.
Thanks Karen! So nice to hear this 🙂
I have cooked this three times now. Delicious! Simple and so fast! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you like it Susan! We love this one too 🙂
Hi wondering if I have to triple recipe (big family) will it have to cook longer? And do I still ad the water? New to this sorry
Glad you are here! No not a longer cooking time. Please read this article it will help you understand so much for a big family. https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/how-to-double-instant-pot-recipes/
All the textures were great. I have a 8 quart and I used 1-1/2 cups of broth. But…… I found out that we don’t care for the Cajun flavor. Any suggestions on other seasonings? Thanks!!!!!
★★★★
What about lemon pepper or montreal chicken seasoning or maybe even ranch dressing mix?
Forgot to cook saugage not say cook it first..is it to late
the sausage doesn’t need to be cooked, if it’s smoked sausage it’s already cooked.
Ok I have and been using my insta pot since last year. I’ve made at lest a dozen recipes, many with potatoes. Even cut into chunks they always take seven to eight minutes to cook to soft. So why do you and most others suggest only three to four minutes. If I do that they are still rock hard. I use a Lux 6 qt insta pot and I saw only one comment that went seven minutes, i usually go eight. So how does that work? Because of a surgery my wife cannot eat spicy things and she don’t like mushrooms so when I make this tonight I’ll omit the shrooms and use all beef hot dogs. The recipe looks good though and can’t wait to try it. Also I’ll use Grill Masters seasoning, about as spicy as I can get for her. Thank you much, home Chef Al 🙂👍😉🤠
For this particular recipe the pot is fairly full so it takes a while to come to pressure so the potatoes are cooking that entire time. I’m not sure about other recipes you’ve made. What type of potatoes do you use?
How can you cut down on the sodium?
You could. Eliminate the kosher salt. Use low sodium broth. Perhaps low sodium sausage too.
I fixed this quick meal for my 91 year old dad. He loved it, heard him brag to my nephew on the phone. I felt I needed more flavor since dad cant eat the spices, so I used one small pork flavored gravey mix sprinkled on top of all the ingredients before I put the lid on to cook. Everything tasted great. Will make again.
★★★★★
Oh this is so sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Easy, fast, delicious as is! Definitely a keeper!
★★★★★
Glad you liked it!
I’ve made this twice now! Love it! So simple but delicious and pretty healthy overall!
★★★★★
So glad you liked it Brandy!
My family loved this recipe asked me to make it again. Just one question can I add shrimp to it and would the time be the same?
Shrimp cooks so quickly. I might cook without the shrimp. Quick release. Then add the shrimp in the pot and put the lid back on. the heat in the pot will cook the shrimp in maybe 5-10 minutes, just on the warm setting.
I have a shrimp recipe that cooks the shrimp under pressure in 4 minutes. They need to be large and frozen.
I really enjoyed this recipe. It was so easy! I accidentally bought sliced mushrooms, but still came out great.
Anybody searching for sausage.. I used Johnsonville Andouille sausage.
★★★★★
Sounds great thanks for sharing your experience.
Delicious. Used less salt and used 2 tsp. of salt free cajun seasoning and 2 tsp. regular cajun seasoning. Only had beef smoked sausage on hand, but it was still very good. Also used less butter to save on calories. As other reviewers indicated, sauteed some onion with the sausage and added some minced garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients. Three minutes was the perfect amount of time. A definite do-again recipe.
★★★★★
Thanks for sharing your experience. You are making my mouth water! sounds delish.
I made this tonight and it was AWESOME! I used sweet potato (not yam) and left out the Cajun seasoning. I added some garlic and onion instead. It was a hit. Thanks for this simple, but delicious recipe.
Sounds good with the sweet potatoes!
Do you have any idea how you would cook this in a crock pot? I want to share the recipe with my cousin but she doesn’t have an instant pot. 🙁
Here is the cp version: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/slow-cooker-cajun-sausage-potatoes-and-green-beans/
YES! What a delicious tasting dinner. I followed your recipe using Boar’s Head smoked uncured kielbasa and reduced the Cajun spice to 2 tps (my husband doesn’t like a lot of spice). Cooked to perfection. I saw a few posts that the green beans were a bit mushy, I used regular fresh beans and they were tender but in no way overcooked. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and making life a little easier at dinner time.
★★★★★
NICE!!! Thanks for sharing Cris.
This was delicious! I added some onion and couple cloves of garlic. Big hit in my house and will definitely make again!
★★★★★
Sounds so great Debbie!
Wonderful!! So flavorful and great on the tastebuds! Will definitely make over and over!
★★★★★
Thanks! Glad you liked it 🙂
Could I add cubed chicken to this or is the cooking time to short?
Yes you could and I think they’d totally be fine. The only thing is that the sausage adds a lot of flavor so you may want to season your chicken a bit.
Should you cook the cubed chicken on saute or from raw?
If they’re in small bite size pieces 3 minutes of pressure cook time will be enough to cook them from raw.
Great recipe. I sauteed my sausage and onions in some olive oil and part of the butter called for for 2 minutes; add crushed garlic and sauteed for a minute more. Add the potatoes and green beans and 2 1/4 cups of home made chicken stock and lemon pepper seasoning and rest of the butter. Since I had been cooking in my pot it came to pressure very quickly and my husband said the potatoes and green beans needed another minute. Served this with corn bread and it was a hit.
★★★★★
I have an 8 qt pressure cooker is why I had to add 2 1/4 cups of water. This left alot of wonderful broth that went well with the home made corn bread.
I made this tonight in the 3 quart instant pot. I used frozen green beans and onion in place of the mushrooms. Perfect size for 2 people. I kept the sausage the same, but cut down on the veggies.
★★★★★
This was amazing. My husband said it is his favorite Instant Pot recipe I have made so far! I should’ve read the comments before starting because i doubled the recipe and the 3 min cook time made the potatoes and green beens a little mushy. But we love them that way anyway!! Glad we have some leftovers for the next few days!!
★★★★★
so glad you enjoyed it!
Made this tonight….added too much Cajun spice but still OM Goodness delicious!!
I just made this recipe and thought it turned out really good. Unfortunately I didn’t have any fresh green beans so I tried my luck with the canned green beans. Although fresh may be better, I thought the canned was pretty good myself. I used Old Bay seasoning. Delish.
★★★★
Did you pressure cook the beans?
Made tonight!! This is delicious!!! I followed the recipe except used can green bean with 0 pressure at the end. Perfect!! I never finish my meal but going for 2nds. Yum!!!!
★★★★★
Nice!!
I didn’t have some of the ingredients, so used turkey kielbasa, 1/4 onion, russet potatoes, minced garlic and a can of original rotel. Salt, pepper and lemon pepper and used water instead. 5 minutes was perfect! Still very yummy! Can’t wait to try as written next time!
Your version sounds great!
OMG! YUM!
Still licking my chops as I write this. Made as written, using Aidells Cajun Style Andouille, but used a tsp less Cajun seasoning and just a pinch of salt.
Husband and I both loved it. Definitely a keeper! I can’t wait to try it with different sausage and seasoning combinations. Thank you so much for an awesome quick IP recipe.
★★★★★
Made this yesterday! Was such a great one pot meal and very flavorful! I used a pack of fully cooked chicken sausages (pear and Gouda flavored from Sam’s) and followed the instructions exactly as written. Since the pot was pretty full It did take awhile to come to pressure which was perfect for me to grab a quick shower while it was cooking! My picky husband really like it too and he normally is strictly a pasta guy, (anti potatoes) but he loved the flavorful broth. I loved that it had all the components of a balanced meal and super easy to make after work. Thank you for sharing 🙂
★★★★★
Flavors were good, but I’ll cut down on the salt next time. Sauteed the sausage then the mushrooms in some of the butter noted in the recipe to give some more depth of flavor-so good! However, the 3 minutes cook time was too much. Beans and potatoes were overcooked…especially the potatoes. I’ll try the 0 cook time option next time.
★★★★
Can I add squash and zucchini?
yes but after it has pressure cooked. Otherwise they will get too mushy.
Can I make this with bratwurst instead of the sausage?
yes that would be really tasty
I have a 6 quart IP. Can I double this recipe and still cook it for the same amount of time of 3 minutes???
★★★★★
As long as it doesn’t go over the max fill line it should be good. I’d reduce the cooking time to 2 minutes since it will take longer to come to pressure.
I did sweet potatoes instead of regular and add bell peppers…. delicious.
That sounds really good!
I’m confused on this. I just bought the 8qt Instant pot and it says you must always have at least 18 oz water to pressure cook. So how could I make this? Even if i double the recipe it won’t be enough.
You can add 18 ounces of broth and then make the rest of the recipe as stated. You’ll just have a lot of liquid in the bottom. But you can drain it off if you want!
I made this for supper & I sautéed an onion & garlic & the mushrooms.I then followed the recipe I have an 8 quart instant pot so I doubled the broth & added an extra minute for the cooking! When I make this again I would leave it at 3 minutes like the recipe said! It was delicious!!
YUM!!
I used my 8 quart and only did a little over a cup of broth. No issues coming to pressure at all. I will reduce the salt next time. I’m so glad someone asked about shrimp because that is what I came here looking for. Will try adding frozen shrimp as well next time and maybe reduce the time to 2 minutes. Very good recipe. Both hubby and teenage son loved it.
I’m new to the insta pot, if I have canned green beans and add them at the end like others says, what does the 0 pressure mean?? Sorry to ask such a dumb question.
Oh the 0 pressure cook time just means you set the timer all the way down to zero. That means the pot will build pressure and then as soon as it reaches pressure it will beep and turn off. So it heats the beans up but doesn’t overcook them.
Do you cook the sausage first?
Or does it go in uncooked?
I left mine uncooked. You could brown it if you like.
Do you set the pressure cooker to low or high pressure?
★★★★
high pressure!
Thanks! Could you also use precooked turkey sausage? I’m
yes I think that would be great!
This is such a simple, easy recipe and yet so good. I want to eat the entire pot’s worth in one sitting!
Haha Lacey!! me too!
I tried this today with a few minor changes since I didn’t have all of the same ingredients. OMG it was so delicious even my picky teenage son loved it. It was so quick which is nice on a busy work night! Will definitely be making again. Thank you!
★★★★★
picky kid eating it=winning!
I made this with Beyond Sausage and Emril Legasse’s Cajun Spice. Soooooo good!!!
★★★★★
Good call!
I have made this quite a few times for fellowship gatherings. People love it! I love it! So good, so easy. I’ve doubled it because I have an 8 quart IP.
Thank you!
★★★★★
I used Portuguese sausage (chourico) and subbed the mushrooms for 1 large white onion. Yummy!
Made this with turkey kielbasa and Montreal chicken seasoning. I used a cup of broth. It came out great! My family really liked it. I will definitely make this recipe again.
★★★★★
I really need to try this with the Montreal seasoning!!
Made tonight, fresh green beans, red potatoes and mushrooms, set for 4 minutes and everything was awesome.
YUM!! I love the idea of mushrooms in this 🙂
Can I use frozen green beans if fresh ones are not available?
yes i believe that would work. they may get a little mushy.
Hi Karen,
I’m making this tomorrow with chicken andoulle sausage. Will the timing be the same, or less?
It should be exactly the same! I hope you like it!
I made this in my crockpot. 4-5hours on low. Green beans we re a touch al Dente but I like them that way. The potatoes were perfect. My husband loved it. Next time I will use more Cajun spice.
It’s so funny to me (well,, not really) that some say 3 minutes and the green beans turned to mush; others say the 3 minutes was perfect, and for me, I actually had to do 7 minutes (!!) and everything was perfect, and I had even cut my potatoes into really small pieces!
Regardless of the time – and folks need to realize that time is just an average estimate – RMV (results may vary), this was a very quick, easy, and inexpensive, awesomely satisfying meal! Yet another successful, delicious meal from “365”!
★★★★★
Good point!
I only have frozen green beans. Should I could the other items 2 minutes then release and add my green beans and cook for 0 minutes?
That would probably work!
can fresh asaparagus be used instead of green beans? would the timing be the same? wanted to try it this week..looks so yummy thank you for sharing!
asparagus will get totally mushy. I would add it later after everything else has cooked. and just let it kind of heat through with the hot food.
I made this for dinner and it turned out great! Will be putting this into my rotation. I can’t wait to eat leftovers tomorrow.
★★★★★
I love leftovers!
Could I substitute sliced carrots for the green beans?
yes or baby carrots would work
Would sweet green pepper work instead of the beans? If so, would i have to change the time?
Green pepper would turn to mush. Peppers are just too tender.
This was AWESOME and so easy! We used beef polska kielbasa (I used the Saute function first using a teensy bit of light olive oil because that’s how we like it when we make another sausage and potato dish; may add an onion next time while sauteing just for fun although the flavor is already so good); and omitted the mushrooms because they’re not my thing. Tried it with frozen green beans the 2nd time and yeah, they came out too mushy (but still tasty!) so will try cooking separately next time or adding at the end under pressure for 0 minutes as one reviewer suggested.
Thank you so much for this recipe!
★★★★★
So I tried this recipe tonight (first instant pot use). Is it normal to take 20 minutes to build pressure or am I doing something wrong. I followed the recipe to a T.
That seems quite long. The fuller the pot the longer it will take to build pressure. One way you can speed up this process is by warming up any liquid you add to the pot.
I’ve made this twice as written and my whole family loves it. I used the prewashed bags of green beans and pre sliced mushrooms. Very easy to make after work. Thank you!
★★★★★
GREAT idea! That would make prep super fast.
I used pre-bagged fresh green beans and the 3 minutes turned them to mush. I didn’t add potatoes because I didn’t have any. Would either of these things change the cook time?
★★★
Were they super skinny beans?
No. But made it again and cooked the sausage and potatoes for 2 minutes. Then added the green beans for 0 minutes under pressure. Was perfect! No mushy green beans.
So delicious and easy—3 minutes and it’s ready is crazy… I used turkey kielbasa as andouille and Cajun spices are too spicy for me.
★★★★★
Would it be bad to not use the butter? Or is there something you could sub for it?
You could substitute with olive oil.
Just made this dish. I used kielbasa and the Montreal seasoning and it was delish.
Ken
Sounds fantastic!
I just made this recipe using kielbasa and Perfect Pinch Italian seasonings. It was delicious! It is definitely a keeper! This seems to be a wonderful winter dish–warm and tasty on a cold night, and everything in the same pot!
Glad you like it Linda!
Made this tonight, and it was great! Loved that it was such a quick meal.

So glad you liked it!!
We really liked this dish. I used what I had at home so we had Aidell’s Italian sausage with Italian seasonings subbed for those you used. Will try it again using other sausage flavors. Loved how quick it went together and used little electricity- we are on power restrictions because of the high heat in N. California. Perfect meal for the evening. Thanks!
