Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 lb Andouille Sausage Adds a smoky, hearty flavor; substitute with turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • 1 medium Onion Provides a savory base; yellow onion is sweet, while shallots can add a unique touch.
  • 2 lb Baby Potatoes Maintain their shape and creaminess when halved; regular potatoes can be used but watch for cooking time.
  • 1 lb Green Beans Offers fresh crunch; feel free to use frozen or swap for asparagus or broccoli.
For the Flavor
  • 2 cloves Garlic Essential for depth of flavor; fresh minced garlic is preferred, but garlic powder works if you're in a pinch.
  • 1 packet Dry Onion Soup Mix A seasoning powerhouse; if you don't have it, mix dried onion flakes, garlic powder, and beef bouillon.
For Cooking
  • 2 tbsp Butter Adds richness and binds the flavors together; can be replaced with olive oil for a lighter option.
For Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Parsley Optional for a fresh finish; chives can serve as a lovely substitute if you prefer.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Swamp Potatoes
  1. Begin by gathering your slow cooker and chopping the ingredients. Slice the Andouille sausage, dice the onion, and halve the baby potatoes. Trim the green beans and mince the garlic.
  2. Add the sausage, chopped onion, halved potatoes, green beans, and minced garlic directly into the slow cooker. Gently toss all the ingredients together.
  3. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the top of the mixture, ensuring to cover everything. Stir well to coat evenly.
  4. Slice the butter into small pats and place them on top of the mixture in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and select the cooking setting: cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm straight from the slow cooker.
