Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound sausage Italian sausage for a punch, or turkey for a lighter option.
  • 4 medium potatoes Diced; Yukon Gold or red potatoes work beautifully for their creamy texture.
  • 2 cups green beans Trimmed; frozen green beans can also save you time.
  • 1 onion Chopped; yellow onions add a nice sweetness.
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use homemade for depth, or low-sodium canned for ease.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning A blend of basil, oregano, and thyme enhances overall flavor.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes, trimmed green beans, and chopped onion.
  2. Cut the sausage into slices and add to the cooker.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the top.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through.
  6. Serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Notes

Stir occasionally to evenly distribute flavors. Browning the sausage before adding heightens flavor complexity. This dish tastes even better when made a day ahead.
