Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes Recipe

Seriously… this easy Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes Recipe is outrageously tasty and completely drool worthy.

Janet writes: "This was so easy and good!  Even my picky teenager liked it!"

As far as the texture goes, don’t expect crispy fried hash browns. This is a creamy rich comfort food dish that serves up hearty flavors the whole family will love. Think of it more like ridiculously delicious creamy mashed potatoes!

Or like meat and potatoes… made cozy!

Trust me, kielbasa and potatoes go together like peanut butter and jelly… they’re just a perfect match!

They come together to create an irresistible slow cooker casserole. A casserole that is simple to make, hearty, and magnificently packed with family pleasing flavors.

Just beware of the tantalizing aroma wafting through your home. It’s quite alluring…

So alluring, you might even be tempted to dive right into this glorious steaming Crock Pot casserole!

Instead, I recommend quickly dishing some out into bowls… being that the whole diving in the crockpot scenario could get a little messy… and crowded!

So what I’m trying to say is, you really need to add this savory dish to your menu for a fun new brunch/lunch/brinner/dinner the whole family will love!

It serves up familiar flavors without the fuss.

Come on… let’s grab the napkins and dive in!

You’ll just need these 5 easy ingredients to get started…

    This Crockpot sausage and potatoes recipe looks so cozy and easy — perfect for a comforting weeknight meal!

  2. Christine says:

    5 stars
    I find so many wonderful recipes on this site, and this one is no exception! This is so easy and delicious. My family loved it! The only thing I changed, was that I used the frozen O’Brien potatoes with peppers & onions. This is very good same day, but not as leftovers in my experience. The flavor is still very good, but as leftovers the texture is lost as the potatoes tend to get a bit mushy after being in the fridge overnight.

    I would definitely make this again! Just no leftovers next time LOL.

    1. Heidi Miller says:

      Christine, I am so glad you liked it. This recipe really is so versatile and I love how you changed up the flavors. The peppers and onions from the O’Brien potatoes add the perfect savory touch!

  3. Amber says:

    This looks great I plan on making it tomorrow! I only have refrigerated hashbrowns though, will this cut down the cook time? Thanks!!

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Amber… I honestly haven’t tried with refrigerated hashbrowns. You would definitely need to cut the cook time, but I’m not sure how the consistency will turn out. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

  4. Nia says:

    What settings could I use to make this in a pressure cooker?

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Nia ~ I honestly haven’t ever made this in a pressure cooker, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!

    2. Kara says:

      About to try! Hope it works!

  5. Lisa says:

    If I used cream of chicken soup instead would I still use the evaporated milk or regular milk

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Lisa ~ you’ll still want to use the evaporated milk, as regular milk has the tendency to curdle in the crockpot. Hope that helps! 🙂
