Tips and Variations:
Choose Quality Smoked Sausage
Smoked pork sausage provides the richest flavor, but smoked beef, turkey, or chicken sausage also works well.
Try a Different Soup
Swap the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken, cream of celery, or cheddar cheese soup for a different flavor.
Add More Vegetables
Carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, green beans, or frozen peas can easily be added to make the meal even more filling.
Make It Cheesy
Stir in shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking for an extra creamy finish.
Add Fresh Herbs
Sprinkle chopped parsley, green onions, or fresh thyme over the finished dish to brighten the flavors.
Give It Some Heat
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, or sliced jalapeños if you enjoy a little extra spice.
Storage
Store leftover Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze for Later
Allow the dish to cool completely before freezing in airtight freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat until hot before serving.
