Slow Cooker Sausage and Potatoes

 I never think to take a photo, sigh.

This came from Tiktok and is so easy to put together, versatile, and delicious.

Ingredients:

  • One (what used to be a pound) of cooked sausage (smoked, turkey, andouille)
  • One package of baby potatoes, or cut up larger potatoes
  • Vegetable of your choice. I used frozen green beans. My son thought they were too mushy, so next time I will try fresh. Other possibilities include chopped cabbage, carrots, or another firm vegetable.
  • Seasoning of your choice. I used Kinders meat and vegetable seasoning. Lots of it.
  • Half stick of butter, cut up.
Throw it all in the crock pot and cook on low for about 6 hours (I checked it with half an hour left and it was ready).

Stir and serve.

Chicken Enchiladas

  • 24 oz cooked, shredded chicken
  • small can green chilies
  • 2 oz chicken broth
  • 8 tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayo (I used lite)
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde
  • 1 T ranch powder
  • 1 T taco seasoning
  • 4-8 ounces shredded cheese
Mix chicken, chilies, and broth
roll chicken mixture in tortillas
place in a baking dish sprayed with oil
mix sour cream, mayo, salsa, ranch, and taco seasoning
pour over enchiladas
sprinkle with cheese
bake at 400 for about 30 minutes
