Slow Cooker 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 slow cooker 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 hour to the cooking time for russet potatoes.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

To make Slow Cooker Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker. It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

    I love this recipe. Simple and tasty!! Made it a couple of years ago. Really liked it and forgot about it. I made it again and was mad I forgot about it. Make it quite often now. I don’t put the (fresh green beans) in until about an hour before it’s done. Beans are a little crunchy seems to bring out the flavor of the beans.

    I have made this recipe and love it. Because there are only 2 of us, thinking of making half the recipe in a 4 quart crockpot, would you cook for the same amount of time? Probably going to use russet potatoes as that is what I have on hand

    This is a good, easy, flavorful recipe. I used Emeril’s Cajun seasoning and that’s really all you need. Add some cayenne for heat and a chopped onion for extra flavor. Love a good crockpot recipe!

    My husband loves spicy food and he enjoyed this recipe. I used Johnville New Orleans Andouille Sausage and Emeril’s Cajun seasoning and Green Giant Gourmet Klondike pettite potatoes. I served it with some crusty bread. This will be a go to meal for the fall.

    This is a delicious recipe and I make it all the time. Very easy to change out the type of sausage and the seasonings and sometimes I add carrots.

    The only thing I do different is to cook it in my pressure cooker and it cooks in 5 minutes. Really, 5 minutes

      low 4 hours high 3 hours or until potatoes are done. All crockpots cook differently so it’s hard to give an exact time.

    I made a ½ recipe of this in my Instant Pot Mini, using chicken andouille sausage from Costco and halved baby gold potatoes. I sliced the beans into 2″ pieces and omitted the mushrooms because I didn’t have any. It took longer than 4 hours (green beans and potatoes were still undercooked) and the clock was pushing 8pm, so I stuck the pot in the fridge for tonight. I reheated it on Sauté and after 20 minutes it was ready. Potatoes, sausage and beans were all tender, just perfect.

    This was my first time cooking sausage (other than breakfast type), because I hate how fatty the various kinds of links are, so never buy them. We tasted the chicken andouille at Costco last week and what a revelation! They were wonderful, and not fatty at all! It was also my first time cooking with cajun seasoning, so I was a little worried on several fronts.

    Well, the finished meal was delicious, if a bit too hot for me to handle. We both loved the combination of sausage, potatoes and green beans, and it couldn’t be simpler to make. This has earned a repeat, with half the cajun seasoning.

    Thanks for helping me venture beyond my comfort zone, Karen. The trip was worth it!
