Ingredients
Yellow potatoes, 907 g (about 2 lb)
Yellow onion, 120 g (1 medium)
Smoked sausage, 340 g (12 oz)
Cut green beans (canned), 2 cans (14.5 oz each)
Unsalted butter, 113 g (1 stick)
Italian dressing seasoning mix, 0.6 packet
Salt, 1 tsp
Black pepper, 0.5 tsp
Garlic powder, 1 tsp
Onion powder, 1 tsp
Smoked paprika, 1 tsp
Instructions
1-Build the base: In a slow cooker, toss quartered potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and diced onion to coat evenly.
2-Layer it up: Layer sliced smoked sausage over the potatoes, top with drained green beans, and sprinkle with Italian dressing seasoning mix; do not stir.
3-Add butter: Place a whole stick of unsalted butter on top; do not stir—the butter will melt and infuse the layers.
4-Slow cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
5-Serve & enjoy: Gently stir to combine, then serve warm, optionally with crusty bread to soak up the juices.

💡 Swap the smoked sausage for kielbasa, andouille, or chicken sausage to customize the flavor profile.
💡 Use fresh or frozen green beans instead of canned for a crisper texture and brighter color; add them straight from the freezer without thawing.
💡 Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick that pairs beautifully with the smoky sausage and Italian dressing flavors.
