What Type of Sausage To Use
This recipe calls for smoked sausage. That means the sausage is already cooked. As with most of my recipes I encourage you to your preferred sausage or a sausage that fits your lifestyle and budget.
What Type Potatoes To Use
Use your preferred potato. What you see in the pics is russet potatoes that are peeled & chopped. Potatoes are easy to overcook in the slow cooker & if you do, they turn to mush. As a way around this, I suggest cutting the potatoes into large chunks or leave the skin on. This will help them hold their shape during the long cooking process. Waxy potatoes like red potatoes also work well with this recipe.
What Type of Green Beans To Use
I like to use fresh green beans with this recipe however canned and frozen can also be used. If you don’t like green beans, substitute another vegetable like broccoli or chopped asparagus.
FAQS & Tips
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For a list of Whole30 compatible sausage brands, click HERE.
- Use your preferred broth! Vegetable broth, chicken broth, beef broth. I used beef smoked sausage & low-sodium beef broth.
- I used a 3.5-quart slow cooker for this recipe but it can easily be doubled and cooked in a 5 or 6-quart.

I just found this recipe and will try it this weekend. 😃
Can you use canned whole green beans and or even frozen? If so, will there be any difference in the prep and cooking time etc?
Canned green beans get mushy.
Frozen or Fresh!!
What kind of broth?
Whatever kind you like! When I use beef sausage, I use beef broth. With turkey sausage, I use chicken broth. Even vegetable broth will work. Enjoy!
I will be using store made sausage that is not cooked, should I cook the sausage before using it?
Nope. This will work just fine with uncooked sausage. It will look different, mainly the sausage will be ‘soft’ and not firm but the taste will still be there. You can quickly sear the sausage before adding to the slow cooker but that’s not really necessary. Enjoy!
I made this and it was so good my husband had two helpings. Thank you for the recipe 😋
You’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear the hubby really liked it! It’s a personal favorite:)
Delicious! Super easy dinner!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
What type of broth do you suggest!
Your preferred broth! It can be vegetable, chicken or beef. In the pics I used beef broth because my smoked sausage was all-beef smoked sausage.
I’m so happy to see you repost this on your Facebook page. It’s a good recipe. I will make it again soon using my Instant Pot!
I used baby carrots and celery instead of green beens and it turned out wonderfull. That’s the great thing about the instant pot, put whatever you have in it and it comes out delish.
