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.

Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Cabbage

 This recipe comes from Brooklyn Farm Girl, It is so easy to put together and very tasty. A great choice for a Sunday meal that I can throw together and my hubby and I can go off wandering around Georgia, come home and eat! It's also a great Sunday or Monday choice because they are at the end of my grocery week and I don't have to worry about the meat expiring before we get to it.

My amounts were a bit different so I will use mine.

• 12 oz. package of turkey kielbasa or cooked sausage (I used sausage because that is what they had in the store), cut in two inch lengths
• 1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped in fairly large pieces
• 1 24 oz. package of baby potatoes, left whole
• 1 pound back of baby carrots (the recipe doesn't call for it but they would be great to add)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 t salt
• 0.5 t pepper
• 1 t chopped garlic
• 2 T brown sugar

Mix all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours.
