My Ninja slow cooker is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I love the non-stick coating! This one has so many possibilities and uses!
“I absolutely love this recipe! It is so simple to make and tastes delicious. The first time I made it my husband walked through the door after a long day at work and said “Wow. That smells amazing”. Then he ended up eating the majority of it. You have made this family very satisfied and I will definitely be making this a meal for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!!!”

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!

We had this recipe for dinner tonight, and it was so good! As we are not fans of mushrooms I substituted cream of chicken soup and also added about a cup of water. It was really flavorful and filling, a keeper!
That’s awesome Nancy! So glad to hear it!
This dish is amazing!! It is so tasty and by far the easiest slow cooker recipe I have seen! We have made it twice now and it has officially become a favourite/regular. It is so perfect for fall!
Hi Kaylee! I’m so glad you loved it! Thanks for visiting!
I can’t get this to print. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Lois! I’m not sure why it won’t print for you. I just tested the “Print” button on the recipe and it worked. Are you using a mobile or on a desktop/laptop?
Laptop
I print from a laptop as well. It works for me. I haven’t had any others mention trouble printing. I know occasionally my old printer (an HP wireless one) would give me trouble printing just about everything depending on the signal strength at that time. I wish I could help more!
I have a HP wireless. Maybe that is my problem
I made this a week or so ago but I forgot to put in the cream of mushroom soup and it turned out great! Added a little more creole seasoning because we like spicy things. Cooked it in some chicken broth and topped our individual servings with cheese. My family loved it! Guess what’s in the crockpot again tonight!
Hi Barbara! So glad to hear you guys liked it, and I love your ideas too!! We love how easy it is too!! Thanks for visiting!!
I really liked this recipe. I love potatoes , a recipe with potato males me excited . I Added my twist and tweaked just a little. I will be revisiting this one often. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing Anna!
I used red potatoes and added a few capfuls of crab boil (were from Louisiana lol) and it turned out GREAT
Hi Amanda! I love that you used crab boil! This recipe always reminds me of putting sausage in with our crawfish boil. That’s one of the reasons I make corn on the cob with it! Thanks for visiting!
I am physically disabled and only have the use of one hand. Therefore peeling the potatoes is difficult. Is it possible to make this by just cutting up the potatoes but not peeling them?
Hi Danielle! It’s fine to leave the skins on!
HI,
I made this yesterday and wanted to share what I did as I see some have asked about using Italian sausage. So I had Italian sausage and while the flavors were really good, it was way to greasy. So I would make this again and again, but would follow the recipe and use the smoked sausage. I just had them and wanted to use them up. I don’t generally even comment on a recipe if I didn’t follow the original one, but it was asked so I thought I’d tell you my experience.
Thanks for sharing Katie! I rarely cook with Italian Sausage, so it is hard to know how it would turn out without making it.
can this be cooked on high instead of low? If so, how long should I cook it on high?
Hi! You sure can. I would try 4 to 5 hours.
Hey Jaren. Thanks for the recipe. Winter’s here and I’ve just dug Slow Cooker out the cupboard. Nice easy meal for me.
Glad to hear that Barry! Thanks!
Well I didn’t have any cream of mushroom soup so I used cream of broccoli and I didn’t have any Cajun seasoning so I used old bay but it was delicious
Often I find it necessary to alter recipes to what ever I have on hand as many times I can’t get to the store (I live way out of town) but I find great inspiration from recipes like yours Thank You. It gets really hard to think up new ideas day after day when you have been doing it for some 50 plus years. My husband thinks
I am crazy as I have tens of thousands of recipes already and he would eat hamburger every single day (Yuck). But I love trying new things.
It’s never any fun making the same things all the time! I totally agree with you Sandra!
Hello! I read through all of the previous posts… And no where can I find any one who asked whether or not you actually make up the condensed soup?… Or just put the can in as is without the water or milk.
Hi Anne! It’s just the can of soup. No added water or milk is necessary. Thanks for visiting!
I absolutely can’t wait to crock this one! I am usually doing sausage and cabbage. My husband likes it but it stinks up the house. This is a great alternative! Thanks!

Hi Crystal! This one is so good! Also, if you like cabbage, try my One Pot Cabbage Casserole recipe. It’s the most popular one on my blog!
Can you use cream of chicken as a substitute for the cream of mushroom?
Hi Natasha! Yes you sure can!
This looks so good, and the recipe is so simple. I love it. I especially love that I have everything I need to make it already in my house.
Thanks Patti! That’s always nice!!
Jaren! 😀 What part of LA are you from?! I was rummaging Pinterest for DIY Horse Feed-related-stuff & this popped up. Usually I don’t divert from the path I’m on, but the picture looked SO yummy! And then I get to the end & realize why… a fellow Louisiana cook. Haha!
Let me just say that I browse Pinterest a lot for many different reasons, interesting recipes residing somewhere near the top of the list, but they have never led me to follow a food blog…until now! I’m excited to try this recipe, and then the alternate version with the cheese soup & Yukon Golds (what?!) and the Cabbage Casserole! Yummo!
By the way, I’ve lived in Vernon, Orleans & Sabine Parishes… in Florien now for our last stop. 😉 (HOPEFULLY!)
Hi Brittany! I’m so glad you stopped by and so happy to hear from a fellow Louisiana gal! I’ve lived in Calcasieu Parish my entire life. I hope you enjoy the recipes!!
Is there any brand of sausage you can suggest – want to buy the correct one & I don’t have access to a butcher shop – there are so many different kinds turkey, beef, pork etc.
What kind of onion is best for this dish? I hope you say red onion because that’s my favorite.
I typically use a yellow onion if I am cooking it. That is just my personal preference. I am sure a red onion would be fine if that is what you prefer. Thanks for visiting!
Look at those potatoes bathed in creamy sauce along with juicy sausages! I want to try a little variation with the recipe by adding fresh herbs like basil and cilantro.
This 5 ingredient dish is absolutely economical and easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing this lovely. Hope to look at more easy to prepare recipes in your blog.
Do you think Conecuh sausage would work in this recipe ? Also do you add potatoes later so they don’t turn to mush ?
Yes, I think it would be fine. I put everything in together at the same time. It’s similar to cooking potatoes in oven for about an hour.
I have made this twice now and it’s amazing!! I use Yukon gold potatoes with the skin on. And I just use cheap smoked sausage or Polish kielbasa whatever is on sale and it’s great. I can’t believe with as easy as it is and such few ingredients that it’s so flavorful. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!
Hi Jessica! So glad to hear you love it too!
