I love a good one-pot meal, and this sausage, green beans, and potatoes recipe is always a hit. It\u2019s super simple to make and saves me from a sink full of dishes, plus you can adjust it for picky eaters or your family\u2019s tastes.<\/p>\n

Why We Love Smoked Sausage, Green Beans And Potatoes<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Made In Under 30 Minutes With Ingredients That Last A Little Longer <\/strong>\u2013 I like to keep a pack of smoked sausage in the house because it lasts a little longer in the fridge and cooks up fast. This recipe gets dinner quickly for an easy meal on the table when we are hungry.<\/li>\n
  • Dinner All In One Pot <\/strong>\u2013 While I love to cook, I don\u2019t love cleanup! Cooking everything in one pot saves you time and cleaning.<\/li>\n
  • Easy To Adapt For Picky Eaters Who Don\u2019t Want Food To Touch <\/strong>\u2013 This is one of those recipes that you can easily pull out different pieces and plate it for picky eaters with the green beans and potatoes and meat each separate while still serving it combined to the rest of the family. When my daughter was really young, I would just save a small portion of each as I cooked them for her plate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Ingredients For Smoked Sausage, Green Beans And Potatoes<\/h2>\n
    \"Ingredients\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n
      \n
    • smoked sausage<\/strong> or kielbasa, you can use pork, beef or turkey. Andouille sausage is also delicious but can sometimes be more spicy. You can also use smoked chicken sausage which is usually about 12 ounces, just pick your favorite flavor. Make sure to allow the sausage to fully brown so it has a really good flavor and texture.<\/li>\n
    • butter<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • yellow potatoes<\/strong>\u00a0Yukon gold is great, about 4-6 medium sized potatoes. Red potatoes can also be used, and baby potatoes also can work great. I don\u2019t recommend using the larger russet potatoes for this recipe as they will need a longer cooking time. If you have russet potatoes I recommend trying the roasted potato wedges.<\/li>\n
    • paprika<\/strong>\u00a0smoked paprika will give you the best flavor but regular sweet paprika can also be used. There is also a hot paprika, which will give the whole dish a bit of a kick if you use the hot version.<\/li>\n
    • garlic powder<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • onion powder<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • salt<\/strong> \u2013 reduce by half if you are using full sodium chicken broth<\/li>\n
    • black pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • green beans\u00a0<\/strong>I used fresh, rinsed and trimmed. See more info about using frozen and canned green beans further down the post.<\/li>\n
    • low sodium chicken broth<\/strong>\u00a0I used low sodium. If all you have is regular sodium I would start by reducing the salt to half a teaspoon, and then add extra salt at the end if it is needed after tasting it. You could also use a vegetable broth or beef broth, but it will change up the flavors a little bit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How To Make One Pot Smoked Sausage, Green Beans And Potatoes<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Slice the smoked sausage into small rounds that are about \u00bd inch thick. Dice the onion into small pieces between. Dice the potatoes into 1 inch chunks and set to the side.<\/li>\n
      2. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Mix well and set to the side.<\/li>\n
      3. Spray the inside of a large Dutch oven or deep pan with a lid with cooking spray and place over medium high heat. Add the smoked sausage to the pan. Cook stirring as needed until the sausage is brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set to the side. We want to get some good brown color on the sausage so it will taste better in the finished dish. The sausage in the image below is about halfway done, you want just a little more of that brown color.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n
        1. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot over medium high heat. Add potatoes and half of the seasoning mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          1. Place green beans into the pot. Add the remaining seasoning and mix with the potatoes. Pour the chicken broth over the green beans. Cover and turn down the heat to medium. Cook covered for 15 minutes or until both the potatoes and green beans are tender.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            1. Add the sausage back to the pot, mixing well with the green beans and potatoes. Serve and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Can I Use Canned Green Beans Instead Of Fresh Green Beans?<\/h2>\n

              Canned green beans work and are often used in this recipe and can be added from the can straight to the pot as long as they are drained well. I recommend using a low sodium green bean or rinsing the beans before adding them to the potatoes. Canned green beans will have a much softer texture to them compared to fresh green beans, as they are already cooked in the pan.<\/p>\n

              Can I Use Frozen Green Beans Instead Of Fresh Green Beans?<\/h2>\n

              You can use frozen green beans without an issue, but frozen green beans do come with extra water in them. If you add the green beans straight to the pot with the potatoes that extra water can make the potatoes a little less crispy and sometimes even soggy.<\/p>\n

              Instead I recommend for the best results, cooking the potatoes all the way through without the green beans and only seasoning with half of the seasoning. Then when the potatoes are cooked through, set them to the side with the sausage. Add the green beans to the pot on the stove top and season with the second half of the seasoning. Then saut\u00e9 and cook until the green beans are warm all the way through, continuing to move them in the pan. Once cooked, add the potatoes and sausage back to the pot to finish the meal.<\/p>\n

              Variation Ideas<\/h2>\n

              Mix Up The Vegetables<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You can totally add a few more veggies depending on what you have in your fridge. Carrots can be diced the same size as the potatoes and then just added together at the same time. Fresh broccoli, cauliflower, sliced fresh onion or bell pepper can easily be added with the fresh green beans. Corn is another great option, either cut the corn into smaller rounds like you would for a seafood boil or cut it off the cob.<\/p>\n

              If you add frozen vegetables, try saut\u00e9ing the vegetables separately (or with frozen green beans if you use them as frozen) to remove the water first so it doesn\u2019t make the potatoes mushy.<\/p>\n

              Try Adding More Seasoning <\/strong>\u2013 This seasoning is a good starting place if you have picky eaters in your house, but you can certainly amp it up a little bit. I sometimes like to add a little Cajun seasoning, try starting with half a teaspoon. You can also add a little more paprika and onion powder.<\/p>\n

              I\u2019ve also really enjoyed adding a little everything but the bagel seasoning at the very end of the recipe or you can add it at the table.<\/p>\n

              You can experiment with adding your favorite seasoning blend, other blends may work with this recipe too. I recommend starting with just a little at a time, you can always add more!<\/p>\n

              Spice It Up At The Table<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Hot sauce or red pepper flakes can be used to give this dish more kick at the table without having to make the entire one \u2013 pot meal spicy. This can be especially handy if you have picky eaters in your house so you can make one meal for everyone.<\/p>\n

              How Long Will Smoked Sausage, Green Beans And Potatoes Last?<\/h2>\n

              Expect this smoked sausage, green beans and potatoes will taste best if enjoyed within 4-5 days. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight covered container.<\/p>\n

              Leftovers can be reheated easily in the microwave or warmed in a skillet on the stove.<\/p>\n

              Can You Freeze Leftovers Of Smoked Sausage, Green Beans And Potatoes?<\/h2>\n

              Yes, this recipe freezes pretty well and still tastes great. Store in an airtight freeze container or zip-top freezer bag. This will taste best if enjoyed within 2-3 months.<\/p>\n

                Don\u2019t be afraid to swap out your favorite smoked sausage. You can use chicken, turkey, beef or pork sausage. Many of the four packs of smoked sausage have slightly less (usually 12 ounces instead of 14 ounces) but this won\u2019t drastically change the recipe.<\/span>
                \nIf you need to further reduce the sodium in this recipe, you\u2019ll need to find a lower sodium sausage, as that is where most of the extra salt in this dish is.<\/span>
