How to Make Crock Pot Sausage, Green Beans and Potatoes
We have updated this post with with a cooking show video.
Aunt Lou here.
I remember the first time I ever had this recipe. It was actually the stovetop version. Michael and I had just started dating. Truth be told, I am pretty sure he was just trying to impress me. Well, it worked! I can’t even count the number of times we have had this over the almost four years of our marriage.
You all know how much I love my crock pot, so I couldn’t resist cRockin’ this recipe.
It is still as easy as the stovetop version from Michael’s bachelor days, but it was great for when I worked outside of our home. Instead of making it when I got home from work and having to wait for it to get done, I could throw it together before I left for work (or better yet, have Michael throw it together!) and have it waiting for me when I arrived home after a long day of work!

Crock Pot Sausage, Green Beans and Potatoes Notes:
- For this Crock Pot Sausage, Green Beans and Potatoes, I used my Travel Crock Pot. You will want to use a 5-6 quart crock pot for the full recipe. If you only have a smaller crock pot, I would recommend cutting this recipe in half because the full recipe definitely needs a large crock pot.

Really delicious! A added 3/4 c of chicken stock and 3 tbs of butter. After it was cooked I scooped out all the veggies and sausage and made a gravy with a little cornstarch right in the crockpot. It was delicious poured over the top. My family devoured it. Thank you!
That sounds amazing Stacie! Thank you for sharing!
I would like to make this recipe for my husband and me by cutting it in half. In doing so, would I reduce cook time by half and don’t the canned green beans turn mushy?
Hi Sharon!
Do you have a 4 quart slow cooker? If so, I would recommend using it and the same timing. We have never had a problem with the green beans getting mushy. We usually use cut or Italian style, and they seem to hold up well. I hope this helps.

Could you use frozen green beans – added at the end? If using frozen, would you need to add some liquid?
This is MY kind of crock pot recipe! Throw it all in and just let it cook for as many hours as needed for the potatoes to cook through. SO good! Thank you for all the great crock pot recipes!
I learned to make this back in the early 70’s from another Air Force wife. It was one of those inexpensive dinners we lived on to get from paycheck to paycheck.
I make this all the time and didn’t even know there was a recipe for it. I am thinking about preparing all of my ingredients and freezing them in a gallon freezer bag for an easy Crock-Pot dump. Have you ever done this?
I have not Samantha, but would love to know how it goes if you do!
Aunt Lou
Do you use precooked sausage or uncooked sausage? I have an uncooked sausage.
Hi Carol!
I have always used precooked sausage. I haven’t tried it with uncooked sausage before. If you do, let me know how it goes and any adjustments you had to make!
Aunt Lou
Do you drain the green beans?
Hi Marie!
Nope, just pour the whole can in! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Can you use regular smoked sausage? Thanks
Hi Lori!
Yes, I have made this with smoked sausage. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Aunt Lou
Could I cook it on high for 4 hours instead??
Hi McKayla!
I haven’t tried cooking this on high for 4 hours, but think it should work just fine! This is one of our family favorites. I hope it becomes one of yours!
Aunt Lou
I add jalapenos and Hubby and I love so much with some sop bread 🙂
Love that you made it your own! I’m pretty sure my hubby would love the kick jalapenos would give this recipe too!
Happy cRockin’!
Aunt Lou
This is an awesome simple meal and the family cannot get enough of it. I sometimes add cream of mushroom or chicken soup.
