Crock Pot Swamp Potatoes
A weird-sounding name with seriously yummy results! These Crock Pot Swamp Potatoes are loaded with sausage, tender veggies, and bold Cajun flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 2 lbs potatoes (cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1 red onion (cut into 1–2-inch pieces)
- 1 lb smoked sausage (sliced into 1–1½-inch pieces)
- 1 stick butter (cut into chunks)
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 packet anch dressing mix
Instructions
- Wash green beans and potatoes. Trim ends from green beans, chop potatoes into 1-inch chunks, and cut red onion into 1–2-inch pieces. Add to the Crock Pot.
- Slice smoked sausage into 1–1½-inch pieces and add to the slow cooker.
- Cut butter into chunks and scatter over the top. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning and ranch seasoning mix evenly over everything.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender and vegetables are softened.
Notes
- Do not add liquid; the vegetables release enough moisture.
- Use fresh green beans only - canned gets mushy, frozen can be watery.
- Cut potatoes into even 1-inch chunks for consistent cooking.
- Slice sausage thick to keep it juicy.
- Cook on LOW only; overcooking or high heat can cause mushy potatoes.
- Add tender vegetables (zucchini, asparagus) in the last 60–90 minutes.
- Spice level depends on your Cajun seasoning - use mild for less heat.
- Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days or freeze (texture may soften slightly).
