Tips for Making Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes:

• Use a smoky pork sausage. These are plentiful in the grocery stores where I live.
• If you aren’t a fan of cream of mushroom, you can try subbing cream of chicken.
• Some readers like to add shredded to cheese to this recipe.

And tell me I am not the only person that feels so organized and prepared when I have something cooking in my slow cooker?  Surely not! I love that feeling of knowing supper is done!!  And here lately we stay so busy all week, just about everyday is a good day for the crockpot!

We served these sausage and potatoes with corn-on-the-cob, which my kids LOVE!  Nothing better to these Louisiana folks than sausage, corn, and potatoes!

These potatoes are creamy and dreamy!!  You know what else is dreamy?  Seeing my 8 year old get to meet her favorite Disney Channel stars!  We had the chance to go to the Tween Stars Live event in our town on Sunday.  Can I just say that I am so glad I bought those tickets for her?  It was a surprise, and she was completely ecstatic to meet these kids!  I posted a few pics on Instagram.  Her favorites were meeting the kids from the show Jessie.  I thought it was pretty fun too.  After all, I’ve had these shows on in my house all the time for the past 4 years.  I’ve kind of watched them grow up too.

And I really know what it feels like to be star struck.  Kind of like the time I met Paula Deen and Ree Drummond.

Those were both very fun moments that I will never forget!  I’m so glad I got to share in that experience with my little girl!

So onto these creamy dreamy potatoes…they are a perfect side dish to go along with all your holiday foods.  The first time I made these, I made Pioneer Woman’s rosemary version.  That was on Christmas Eve last year, and they were so good!  We served them along side a fantastic beef tenderloin.  It was definitely a great dinner!  The other day I made this Cheesy Caramelized Onion version to go with our steaks.  And I’ll probably be taking them with me to Thanksgiving dinner as well 🙂

Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• fresh ground black pepper

• 2 medium onions, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 8 oz. block of cream cheese

3. Slice potatoes as thin as possible. Place in a bowl of cool water as they are sliced and set aside while finishing the sauce.

Rain, rain go away!  Enough already!  That’s what I really want to say to this weather.  But I feel a little guilty when I say that.  Rain is such a blessing for us most of the time.  We usually welcome the rain down here in Louisiana.  Our climate down here usually gives us a good amount…not too much…not too little.  But lately we have needed it.

Just not on Halloween week.  So many of our events around town were cancelled due to our weather.  All that prep work…and no fall festivals, carnival at our church, air show in our town (that we have wanted back for 2 years).  And no family pictures scheduled to happen for us…

Now I just hope the rain can give us a little break for trick-or-treating soon.  Because my little insects (Ant Man, Bumblebee, and Lady Bug) and our baby Monkey will be ready to stroll the neighborhood this weekend.  I just adore Halloween and the kid it brings out in us!  So I’ll be hoping there is a break in all that weather so we can enjoy it and all the yummy Halloween treats!

And you know what else we enjoyed lately… these French Onion Oven Potatoes.  They were such an easy side dish and packed full of flavor.  They go perfectly with just about anything.  You could even make this a slow cooker dish and have it waiting on you when you get home like on these potatoes.

You know what else I love about this recipe?  It only has 5 ingredients plus a little salt and pepper.  I love easy recipes like that.  Fewer ingredients mean less to clean up too!  I’m all about that.

I’m slow getting this post out to you all today.  I am recovering from a camping weekend with my little family.  We rented a cabin at a local state park and had an awesome time!  My kids said over and over how much they loved it.  That makes it so worthwhile especially after my little heart-to-heart I had with you guys last week.

We did all the usual fun camping stuff:  roasted wienies, made s’mores, went hiking a few trails, rode bikes, took a boat ride, and my hubby did a little fishing.  It was a jam-packed weekend filled with fun!  Here’s some snapshots of it all.  Sorry for some of the blurry cell phone photos!

Awesome memories!

Now I also spent a lot of the time on fire-patrol…out of fear that my 1 year old or one of the other kids would fall into the campfire.  That kind of makes one a little nervous!  We also had a little incident with the RACOONS.  The first night as we were grilling our burgers, I brought the s’more stuff outside and set it on the picnic table to have it ready.  We all went in to eat our hamburgers.  When we went back outside to make our s’mores, everything was gone!  After a little investigating, we found the evidence in the woods.  Those darn racoons!  My kids (and myself) were heartbroken.  The next night I made sure to leave the stuff inside until we were ready.

So with all that camping on my brain, what better day than today to share an easy weeknight or camping-friendly recipe.  These babies cook all day long in slow cooker and come out just perfectly.  They would be great with just about any protein…steaks, roast chicken, pork chops, etc.

This recipe is my twist on my sister-in-laws potatoes.  She bakes them in the oven.  I just knew they would come out great in the crockpot too!  Seriously, this recipe is a real winner for sure!  I also include oven instructions in case you do not have a slow cooker 🙂
