Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans--a quick and easy one pot meal of cajun-style andouille sausage, quartered red potatoes, fresh green beans and sliced mushrooms. Drizzle the buttery broth over the potatoes for maximum flavor. 

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.

Description

A quick and easy one pot meal of cajun-style andouille sausage, quartered red potatoes, fresh green beans and sliced mushrooms. Drizzle the buttery broth over the potatoes for maximum flavor. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (12 oz) package cajun style andouille sausage (it’s a precooked smoked sausage)
  • 1 1/2 pounds (24 oz) red potatoes
  • 1 1/2 pounds (24 oz) green beans
  • 1/2 pound (8 oz) white mushrooms
  • 4 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Pour chicken broth into Instant Pot.
  2. Cut sausage into thin quarter inch slices. Cut red potatoes into 1 inch cubes or chunks. Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Quarter the mushrooms. Add the sausage, potatoes, green beans and mushrooms into the Instant Pot.
  3. Sprinkle the cajun seasoning, salt and pepper into the pot. Toss with a spoon. Cut the butter into 8 pieces and toss them into the pot.
  4. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to “sealing.” Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When the timer is up perform a quick release by moving the valve to venting. Remove the lid when you can.
  5. Gently stir the contents of the pot. Scoop onto serving plates or bowls and enjoy.

    Hi, you may have already answered this somewhere that I didn’t see (sorry if so!). Do you use Cajun seasoning that has salt in it or salt free? I have a couple brands but they all have salt already added and seems like adding salt, plus salty Cajun seasoning might be too much, but maybe I’m wrong. Which brand did you use?

    Reply

      I use a brand that has salt. But if you’re worried I would leave out the salt and then add it to taste!

    For anyone who thought it was bland.. you totally didn’t use the right Cajun seasoning cause this was the opposite of bland. Was not much to look at, I probably should have done just one extra minute instead of 2 for my peeled russet potatoes as they were a touch mushy but this was overall surprisingly tasty! Have a feeling this one would also be tasty in the air frier if the potatoes were cut small enough or maybe cooked in stages.
    Thanks for the super fast recipe!!

    This was so easy to throw together and I had dinner on the table so quickly tonight! I added a couple cloves of garlic just because I had them on hand (and my family is garlic-crazy). My husband was impressed with the flavor and asked me to pull this one out the next time we have company!

    This was so easy and SO good! Our children don’t like things *too* spicy, so we used a smoked sausage that had bourbon bacon and black pepper in it instead of andouille. Instead of the Cajun seasoning, we used McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning. It turned out perfect…everyone gobbled it up! I had to set aside some to take with me for lunch the next day before it was all gone!

    I made this with my parents a few weeks ago because we all like Cajun spice. The four main ingredients – chicken sausage, bagged green beans, white mushrooms, and red potatoes came from Target. We found that it was lacking some in flavor so added extra Cajun seasoning at the dinner table. The green beans were a little soft but all of the other ingredients had nice texture – especially the potatoes. I think we will try 2 minutes next time and up the spices. I ate all of the leftovers!

    I don’t do spicy, but I took a chance. I used the Cajun seasoning and the spicy sausage. Wow. This was fantastic! My husband and teenagers loved it as well.

    Karen, I hate cooking. I have no patience and zero creativity. My mom got me an IP 2 Christmases ago and then sent me your web site. I have forwarded your recipes to my other ip friends. I use my ip 6 or 7 times a week. 🤣You have NO idea how much you save me. I would say 98% of the stuff I make is a “Karen recipe”. Thank you so much. You are very appreciated in this house.

    I made this last night and it was great. No leftovers. The only change I made was to quarter a white onion and throw it in.
    I’m considering throwing in some chunks of cabbage the next time I make it. Shrimp would be good, too, but I’m not sure how I’d cook it. Maybe throw the shrimp in after the IP was done and let the shrimp cook by the heat of the prepared food.

    I was gifted an instant pot/air fryer for which I’ve been hesitant and skeptical about owning. I am still exploring whether or not I want to keep it, and am trying to find maybe 10 or so recipes that would help me justify owning this larger-than-life appliance in my small kitchen. This is one of those recipes! It checked a lot of boxes for me (quick, easy, healthy). I love that it’s truly a dump recipe, other than some chopping, dump the ingredients in. I can prep it and have someone at home hit a button while I’m running around and then dinner is served. It’s healthy and we’ve actually made something similar in the oven (quicker, easier, and cooked to perfection in the instant pot in my opinion). Our oven recipe didn’t have mushrooms, which I think are a nice addition. We used turkey kielbasa and it was delicious. So if you could point me in the direction of 10 more recipes like this…maybe I’ll hang on to this thing! Thank you so much!

    I personally have two tweaks that I do. I brown the sausage in the instant pot and then deglaze with the chicken stock and I sub in yukon golds for reds.

    My family will be rolling through some more of your recipes soon, thank you!

    I made this last night and it was delicious! I did get a burn notice, and I panicked, I shook the pot for second. I guess since it’s only a 1 min cook time it stopped and then went into count down. I waited 3 minutes and did a quick release. After opening the pot I just stirred and served. (I used frozen green beans and they were cooked as I would have expected)

    So I absolutely hate Cajun seasoning but I use the McCormick brand in this. I cut it down to 2 tsp instead of 4 and it is honestly one of our favorite meals. It is made at least once a month in our house and with the 2 tsp of McCormick it is not spicy at all, and is a way different flavor than other Cajun seasonings.

    I will be making this as a side at our Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow.

      You could just brown the stew meat first then it would be fine. But sausage has so much flavor, it would ve quite a different recipe with just plain beef.

      I do this as a meal prep item and it keeps about a week. Tips: I have found using small red potatoes that don’t need cut stay fresh longer and use the freshest green beans possible. Some sausages don’t keep fresh very well after they’ve been cut, so I prefer to used beef smoked sausage in meal prep kits.

      So awesome to have such an easy dump dinner that tastes great and that my whole family will eat.

    my grandmother (born 1899) made a version of this using smoked sausage which has since evolved to little cocktail smokie sausages. There’s enough fat in the sausage to really flavor the potatoes and gr beans nicely. It’s a mainstay in the winter with little red potatoes and either fresh, canned OR frozen green beans depending what’s on hand. We just add more potatoes and green beans depending on how many people are there! We call it a Nanie dinner. Been doing it in a crockpot for sometime (30 yrs?) but instant pot is even better yet! thank you!

    Love it! Only change I made was to reduce the amount of Tony Chacheres creole seasoning that it called for by half…and then if a particular family member likes more spicy they can add it themselves when it’s on their plate without it being too overpowering for everyone else. I also cook it a few minutes longer (like 6 minutes) as we like our beans and potatoes well done.

Last night I tried it with a pound of lean ground beef and that was yummy also! I add onion, a scant tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon and reduced the Cajun seasoning to 3t. (I use Tony Chachere’s spice n’ herbs Creole Seasoning which is great for so many things.) We loved the flavored “juice” so much I think next time I’ll increase the broth a bit. Also want to try it with other seasonings. Thanks, Karen, for such a versatile, quick and easy recipe!

    Hi Karen. I made this tonight for dinner and the family loved it. I made it in an 8 qt IP so I put 2 cups of chicken stock in it and doubled the meat and mushrooms. However, I agree with a couple of folks above. If you add Cajun seasoning, ( I used Tony Cacchiere’s) then I would omit the salt. My family loved it but thought it was a little salty. Could just be the Cajun seasoning had salt in it. Thanks for the recipe!

    Hi Karen,
    I use a stove top pressure cooker. I’ve had it for years and only cooked one recipe in it. But now with the popularity of the Instant Pot, there are so many more recipes available. I tried this last night. I used cajun smoked sausage since I live in Louisiana. I’m not a big fan of andouille. Left out the mushrooms. I browned the sausage first in the pot and then scraped up the bits with the chicken broth. I let the pressure drop naturally for 2 minutes then did the quick release just to make sure potatoes were cooked. I couldn’t have been any better. Hubby and I both enjoyed. I have subscribed to your blog so keep the recipes coming.

I think it’ll still have plenty of flavor and for my recipe, it brought it down to 754 mg sodium but I also made it 4 servings instead of 6

    Thank you for this recipe! It is really good and so easy to make. I especially like that everything in it is so fresh and that you can get your vegetables, carbs, and meat in just one pot! I cooked it about five minutes because I like my green beans a bit softer. It also came out a bit too spicy for me so I’ll cut back on the cajun seasoning and pepper the next time I make it. Other than that, I loved it! It is going in my regular rotation.

      Richard, I really like this idea! I like it so much that I want to try it this week. I have a cabbage that needs to be used up! So this is how I’m going to try it. 1 cup broth, sliced sausage and onions in bottom. Then potatoes and chunks of cabbage on top of that. Butter on top. Then I’ll try a 2 minute cooking time. It will have liquid in it a bit (unlike your foil version) but I bet it would be good. did you put any seasonings in yours?

The amount of broth was plenty as the cabbage furnished a lot of liquid. The IP time of 2 min was plenty. I was worried about the time with the potatoes but it was spot on. So goodbye to the foil packets.

    Thank you for the recipe – it was a HUGE hit, especially with a picky eater hubby. I did make only a few slight changes: I sauteed the sausage prior to adding all ingredients. I added a red onion that I quartered. I didn’t have cajun seasoning so I used creole seasoning – I guess it is the same 🙂 I have a 6 qt CPE and my pot was full to the brim – took 15 minutes to come to pressure and used the “steam setting” for 3 minutes. Everything came out perfect !!!! Easy and delish – will be added to my rotation of meals.

    This was a surprising success. We don’t love Cajun, so we used regular sausage and Montreal Chicken seasoning. We also left out the mushrooms. The taste was delicious. The potatoes were a little too soft for me, so I might even try 2 minutes on the IP next time. But all six of us loved this. “Mom, you should make this again!” It came together fast and easy, and it made a minimal mess in the kitchen. This is going into our regular rotation. Thanks!

    This is supper easy to make and delicious. I use no salt broth, skip the Kosher salt, and use 1 tsp less of the Cajun seasoning than called for. I have used both frozen and fresh green beans and have had no issues with either type being mushy. I’ve used turkey sausage, chicken and garlic sausage, green onion chicken sausage, etc., all with great results Three minutes is the perfect time as well. Tonight, I will add the a couple of frozen nibblet ears of corn for kicks.

    Hi – I’d love to try this, but happen to have frozen chicken sausages – made by a local butcher and sold frozen. Any ideas of how to best incorporate them? They’re quite large. Of course I’d thaw them in the frig. Maybe just sauté them in the IP first, scrape the bottom to make sure there are no stuck bits and continue? Also, how do you think asparagus might work instead of green beans for a second go-round for something a bit different? Thanks much.

      November 18, 2019 at 6:54 pm

      I ended up getting some precooked sausage (Cajun andouille organic chicken) to be on the safe side for this first go-round, since I’m an IP newbie and have made a dozen meals since getting my first IP – a Duo Evo Plus – three weeks ago. Absolutely delicious. The only change was two+ teaspoons of Cajun seasoning instead of four. I would have liked the green beans a bit less cooked, though they weren’t mushy, but I think two minutes wouldn’t be enough, so we’ll keep it as is. Thank you so much!

      I think that your idea about the sausages would work great. The asparagus would get way too done and be mushy. You could always add it in after pressure cooking though.

        Thank you. Your dish is in the top two dinners since purchasing the IP about a month ago, having made about 15 dinners. Definitely on the “very frequent rotation” list!

        The chicken sausage (that I have not yet used) that the butcher made turned out to be sage flavored. Do you think the Cajun seasoning would work, or better something else? I’m not a huge sage fan so don’t want to enhance it, but also don’t want to fight with it! Or maybe find a different recipe with turkey?

    I just bought my Ninja Foodie, and chose this recipe to be my first. 🙂

    I really had a hard time getting my head around the fact that within 3 minutes it would all be cooked!
    I just could not see this as possible, but I followed the directions and many comments in this regard.

    I too added onions and stir fried it with the sliced sausage and garlic for a few minutes first. I don’t have Cajun spice so I used 1 tsp of chipotle instead.

    After it was done, I made a cornstarch slurry and added it to the chicken broth and stirred well. The dish was so hot, that I didn’t need to put it on saute to thicken the sauce.

    It turned out absolutely delicious.
    A real comfort food with lots of flavor and tender vegetables.

    I will make this again and again!
    Thank you, very much!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

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!!!

      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?

    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!!

    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.

    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 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.

    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?

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

      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?

    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”!

      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.

    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.

      super yummy. a little salty though. perhaps it was the seasoning I used. I omitted the salt because I had a feeling it would be salty enough with the sausage. Instead for the butter I added 2 tbs of unsalted 2 of salted. I think I could have gone with all unsalted, no salt. I used the Louisiana Cajon seasoning brand. Any suggestions for a less spicy sausage? My boyfriend can’t do spicy. 🙁

    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!
