Crockpot Sausage & Potatoes
Crockpot Sausage & Potatoes is such an easy dinner idea with only five ingredients! Plus it will leave your house smelling amazing as it cooks all day!
Hope you are having a wonderful start to your week! And today I have brought you a wonderful weeknight (or any night for that matter) Crockpot Sausage & Potatoes dinner idea. And I know you guys like this kind of recipe too! So I couldn’t wait to share it with you!
It’s the kind of dish that is perfect for the busy week we will be having especially after an incredibly busy weekend too. On Saturday, my oldest daughter had a cheer competition in Houston. Basically that boils down to a “hurry up and wait” kind of day. But on a good note, this was a same-day, drive in competition, which is so nice! Most of the time, we are gone the whole weekend when we have one.
So after being gone a lot lately, I am craving this supper again. It’s made with only FIVE ingredients that I usually always have too! I love those kind of recipes. We used our favorite smoked pork sausage, but you could use whatever kind you like best. And as with most sausage dishes that simmer away all day, it smells AH-MAZ-ING!
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!
Hope you’ll try it soon!
Looking for a slow cooker? You can find a good programmable one here. I have this one that uses wifi and you can check it from your phone while you are away. I’m thinking of putting this one on my Christmas list. 🙂

Recipe should’ve noted that the sausages should’ve been fried first as the skins have gone soggy and some have come away, leaving slimy bits in the dish. It also would been preferable to do the same with the onions!!!!! Overall disappointed 🙁
I’m sorry I did not share in your experience. I have a good friend who makes this dish on the stove all the time because she prefers frying it as well. I think it also depends on the sausage you use. Part of the appeal of a crockpot meal for me is being able to throw it in quickly in the morning before school/work. I usually shy away from crockpot meals that require prep before hand most of the time. What kind of sausage did you use?
I’ve just made this for something like the 10th time. It’s a great recipe for experimenting. Today’s mix was smoked kielbasa, left out the onion, added one package onion soup mix and a can of Swanson’s chicken broth, 1/2 bag frozen peas and 1/3 bag frozen baby carrots. I also substituted fingerling potatoes.
Turned out great.
Hi Brenda!! I love how you mixed things up! It is a great dish to start off with and put in your favorites! Thanks for visiting!
This looks yummy! How do you think it would be with the healthier low fat version of the cream of mushroom soup?
Hi Kelley! Sorry for the delay. We were on vacation. Yes, I often buy the low fat version for many recipes! Thanks for visiting!
Would this be good if mixed with sauerkraut or as a side
Hi Kara! I’ve never had sauerkraut. It’s not something we have down here very often, so I’m not really sure. I usually make this as my main dish with another vegetable. Thanks for visiting!
I am so making this this weekend. But no cream of mushroom, I think I’ll use cream of onion. Thank you so so so much for the recipe!!
That sounds good too, Laurelei! Thanks for visiting!
Do you have to peel the potatoes? Just curious if there’s a reason for it. Thanks!
Hi Toria! No, you do not have to peel them. I do that mostly for my kiddos because they tend to be a little picky at times. Have a great day!
I found this recipe awhile ago and have been making it at least once a month since. We love it in my house. I typically use cream of mushroom and roasted garlic soup, baby yellow or red potatoes (unpeeled) and beef smoked sausage. Sometimes I add ranch seasoning too. I’m looking for ways to give it a new twist. Any suggestions?
Hi Lexi! I’m so glad you like this recipe! I love all your tips too! One other thing you could try is adding some Velveeta and green onions. I worked on that recipe yesterday, and I will post it soon!
I just came across this recipe last week and made it today, and it’s a definite keeper! It was absolutely delicious! I read through all the comments and followed a couple suggestions of other posters. I used cream of celery soup and browned the sausage. I put a little bit of olive oil on the potatoes, then salt, pepper, garlic, & Old Bay Steamer (which we always have on hand). We had green beans as our side, which went well with this dish. Definitely keeping this one in the regular rotation! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Brandy! That sounds great! Thanks so much for visiting!
Just came across this recipe, and making it this week! Can’t wait!
Hi Mindy! Glad to hear you are giving it a try! This is a fav!
Hey there! Can’t use cream of mushroom soup because of an allergy, and really not a fan of using cream soups in recipes. Is there anything else I can use instead? Maybe heavy cream? Thanks!!
Hi Darcy! I have not tried heavy cream in the slow cooker, so I don’t know how it holds up too cooking all day. I have made a homemade cream soup on the stove however and added it to the slow cooker. This recipe for King Ranch Chicken Soup uses this method, but has some mexican spices: https://www.diaryofarecipecollector.com/slow-cooker-king-ranch-chicken-soup.html
It starts with butter, flour, and chicken broth. It’s similar to a cream of chicken.
This sounds so yummy but being diabetic the potatoes are a no no. Has anyone substituted cauliflower?
Hi Nickie! I’m not sure how cauliflower would hold up in the slow cooker. But I do think that would be good cooked on the stove!
I’m needing to use up things out of my freezer, and I have frozen diced hashbrowns. Do you think those would work, or do you think they would end up too mushy?
I’m not sure how they would turn out, and I would think they might get mushy. I would reduce the cooking time if you decide to try it. Thanks for visiting Carly!
Do you have a waffle iron? Mix up a “batter” from the hash browns, eggs and crumbled bacon, ham or sausage. Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and cook them pretty much the same way you’d cook a waffle — maybe 30-60 seconds longer. Top with sour cream if you want.
Excellent suggestions here. I needed a dish for a work pot luck but no time for kitchen duty. That meant crock pot time. I was craving curry, so I added it. I loved this recipe but more so the entire staff did too. Thanks for sharing.
I love bringing a dish that everyone loves! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi my fellow Louisianian, I just placed all my ingredients in the crock pot. We always have creole seasoning on deck. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Hope you loved it Shay! Thanks for visiting!
Have this in the Crock-Pot right now , I am so excited to try it !!! All the ingredients smell so good together !!!
Awesome Melanie! Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoyed it!
Do you think that this would work with skinless sausage?
Yes I do think it would work! Thanks for visiting!
In the crockpot cooking now on a cold Northern California morning! Hope we can wait until dinner time before digging in…husband and I both have bad colds and this sounds like comfort food at it’s finest! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Sarah! So glad you tried it!! Thanks for visiting and Happy New Year!
LOVE using my crockpot for an easy meal!
Always looking for a new slow cooker meal, thanks!
I made this a few weeks back, shortly after Christmas. It was delicious, and so I am making it again today. The only thing differently that I am doing today is cutting the potato amount from 2.5 lbs down to 2 lbs because, for me personally, I felt there were a little too many potatoes in the dish the first time I made it. But that’s just me. As for the taste….just delicious, and I made this one a keeper!
Hi Sherri! I’m so glad this recipe is a keeper for you! It’s definitely comfort food that I can’t wait to eat when I make it! Have a great day!
I made this dish today while we were out all afternoon at a sports event for my son. It was so delicious and yes the house smelled amazing! So simple to put together. Next time I would add another potato or two. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Michelle! So glad you liked it! Thanks for visiting!!
