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. 🙂

Do you think it would be ok to throw it all in a freezer bag and then just dump in the crockpot the day you want to make it? Trying to do some meal preps and this looks amazing.
Hi Courtney! I love the idea of doing this, but I have not tried it with raw potatoes. I’m honestly not sure how they would hold up in the freezer. Thanks for visiting!
Have you ever tried egg noodles and put the recipe on top the noodles?
Hi Liz! No I have not tried that, but I sure do love egg noodles!
AT first I thought kielbasa and mushroom soup doesn’t sound right. Let me say I was wrong and this works. I doubled up the potato, onion and soup to have more servings. all I can say is Wow.
Hi Arthur! Glad to know it works with kielbasa well too! Thanks for visiting!
I am trying this for the first time! I will update on how it turned out. I put half of a red bell pepper that I had leftover and sliced roasted corn from the cob. The creole seasoning is a staple in my house even though I am a born Yankee.
Hi Vicki! Those both sound like wonderful additions!! And isn’t creole seasoning the best! Couldn’t live without it over here!
Yes Creole seasoning is a heaven sent! Anyways this recipe turned out great! It was so favorful additional seasoni was needed afterwards. I also made biscuits to collect all the deicious flavoir left in the bowl! This is definitely keeper!
Thanks Vicki!!!
Made this last night for supper and it was a huge hit! I only had a few potatoes so I added a bunch of radishes and a few carrots. I also didn’t have creole seasoning so I added a bit of dry ranch dip mix. It was delicious! I will definitely be making this again! Thanks!
Hi Naomi! I love how you used up what you had on hand!! And that ranch idea has definitely got me thinking now!! Thanks for visiting!
Would Keilbasa sausage work instead of the smoked sausage? Also will it still turn out good without the onion? My husband has GI issues and onions make it worse
Hi Sarah! I’ve never cooked keilbasa before, so I am not sure about the flavor. I do believe someone has commented on using that on this post. Yes, you can leave the onions out. Thanks for visiting!
I am trying this with kielbasa sausage, red potatoes, 2 cans of the cream of mushroom soup and creole .. I always have creole on hand. Will let you know how it turns out later today
Hi Sarah! Just curious as to how it came out with the kielbasa? Thanks!
It actually turned out really good my kids loved it and they are picky eaters
Hey i make this for my family on top of the stove any sausage will do cook in pot for a little while add onions and potato and just water,salt and pepper sometimes just eat like that are we put it over rice i am also from louisiana love this so much
Hi Sheila! That’s how my good friend makes it too! Sausage pretty much any way is always a good idea! Thanks for visiting!
It was my second time making this recipe. I had some boneless pork chops to use up. I cut them in stew size chunks and substituted it for the smoked sausage. Outstanding is an under statement..
Oh what an awesome idea! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I made this for dinner tonight and it is wonderful. Super easy and delicious. Would make a great weeknight dinner.
Thanks Jaren!
Jess
We love this one too! Thanks Jessica!
Is cereol spicy? I have and 8 and 1 year old and just wanting to know ahead of time.
Hi Becca! It can be spicy if it is something you don’t regularly use. It does have red pepper in it. We have it in everything down here in Louisiana, so it kind of feels like something is missing if we don’t use it 🙂 Don’t go out and buy it if you are unsure. Just use salt and pepper. I’d probably go with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper, and you can always season more when it’s finished, if needed. Thanks so much for your question! Have a great night!!
did anyone add mixed veggies in this?
Hi Tracy! You could certainly add whatever mixed vegetables you’d like. I think some frozen green beans would be great! Thanks for visiting!
Could this be done in the oven? If so what temp and how long do you think?
Hi Ashlyn! Yes, you can make this in the oven too 🙂 I have a similar recipe for French Onion Oven Potatoes (https://www.diaryofarecipecollector.com/french-onion-oven-potatoes.html ) I bake them at 350 for about an hour, so you could try to do it like that! I bet it will be delicious!!
I’m wondering if you can use condensed cheddar cheese soup instead of cream if mushroom?
I have not cooked a lot with cheddar cheese soup, so I cannot be sure as to how it would turn out. But I do love cheesy potatoes, so it is worth a try!
Trying it with cheddar cheese soup right now. Also using Yukon gold potatoes as those are the one I bought this time. I’ve made it using the original version and the family loved it, so changing it up a bit. I’ll let you know how it goes.
That sounds really good Christine!
It turned out great. Even my potato hating sister loved it. I even added to my weight watcher recipe builder so I could track it.
I’m so glad to hear it!! I must try that now!
I’ve never had potatoes in the crockpot before. Do you put them in raw?
Hi Julie! Yes, you put them in raw. That’s the beauty of the crockpot! It is perfect for cooking potatoes 🙂
I made this for dinner tonight for the 4 guys that watch sports at my house . I doubled the recipe and thought “jeez that is a lot of food!” Guess what?? ALL GONE!! Everyone was ranting! 1 guy said “please teach my wife to cook cuz you rock” My boyfriend just sat back and smiled! Thank you for this recipe! It was AMAZING!!
Hi Stacy!! So glad everyone loved it! I love how easy it is to make too!! Thanks for letting me know!!
There is only one thing wrong with this recipe: It’s so delicious that you eat way too much!! I made it tonight and several hours later, I’m still full. 🙂 I followed the suggestion of another person and browned the sausage before putting it in the crockpot. I also used cream of celery soup and I think I like that better than mushroom. I didn’t have creole spices so I just used garlic powder and Mrs. Dash. About 45 minutes before eating I added some fresh green beans for color and they provided good texture and taste. It’s just the two of us, so I have plenty for leftovers. This is a wonderful recipe; it’s easy to make and very tasty. Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll definitely make it again!
I love cream of celery too! I haven’t tried it in this recipe, but now I need to do that and the green beans!! Thanks for sharing!!
I made this a couple weeks ago and it was soooo delicious, before hubby even finished his first plate (he had 3!) he asked when I would make it again.
Made it for tonight’s dinner, but sad link to homemade creole seasoning is gone! I searched for another myself. Hope its as delicious!
Could you cook on high 4-5 hrs instead of on low for 8?
Hi Lindsay! Yes, I think that would work! I haven’t tried it on high, but that typically cuts the cooking time in half. Thanks for visiting!
Newbie with the crock pot. In your opinion, would using raw sausage and not smoked sausage be ok?
I only use smoked sausage. This dish is really good because of that smoked flavor, so I wouldn’t skip out on that part. Thanks for your comment!!
Hi Jaren,
Can you tell me the number of servings the sausage & potatoes yields. I would like to make it for my staff on Halloween, our favorite autumn celebration and I’m the cook. This seems perfect!
Thank You So Much
Hi Tina! One recipe feeds about 6 to 8 people. You can certainly double it in one crockpot. I would use a second crockpot if you needed more than that. Enjoy!!
One of my nieces posted your recipe. My husband loves all of the ingredients, so I’m sure he’ll like it! I am trying this today! I don’t have creole seasoning on hand, so I looked it up on line and found a spice mix suggested to make your own.. It sounds a little hot for us,, and I don’t have cayenne pepper on hand, so I just substituted some mild chili powder for it and put in less paprika. I’m looking forward to tasting it when it’s done(it’s already starting to smell yummy in my kitchen).! I think this will be great as it is , but I also like Rob’s idea of browning the sausage, too. I also added carrots and mushrooms so I won’t have to cook the vegetables later – although my family would love your idea of serving corn on the cob with it..
Thanks for the idea!
Hi Rosalie! Creole seasoning is what we use in place of regular salt and pepper. Seasoned salt is also another option. But I like how you made your own, and I love the idea of adding carrots and mushrooms! Thanks for visiting!
