Foodie Friday: Green Beans, Baby Potatoes, and Chicken Sausage

 

You probably remember that during the WillowBridge years, we had our beloved camper named Abby, and we enjoyed getting completely away from work using our home on wheels! (We hope to someday enter the camping world again, but for now we are enjoying being home on the lake!)

            We also had a handful of recipes we enjoyed making over the campfire, and one was a foil packet with green beans, baby potatoes, and smoked sausage. I made a similar dish the other day – but this time I made it in the slow cooker, rather than the campfire. We had one last haul of green beans to use, so this seemed like the perfect way to eat them. It was a good comfort meal, super easy to throw together, and we both loved it!

Recipe:

4 Cups Fresh or Frozen Green Beans
1 Small Bag Baby Potatoes
½ Large Onion
1 Package Chicken Sausage
¼ Cup Water
½ Tablespoon Seasoned Salt

If using fresh green beans, clean and snap them and place them in slow cooker. If using frozen beans, put them in the slow cooker frozen. Clean and quarter (or slice) the baby potatoes and place in slow cooker. Slice or dice the onions (your preference) and add to slow cooker. Slice chicken sausage links and add to slow cooker. Add water and seasoned salt and cook on low for 6 hours.

·         You could also add mushrooms to this if you want.

·         If you prefer smoked sausage or turkey smoked sausage to chicken sausage, you could substitute the meat.
