Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes - The most mouthwatering sausage and potatoes ever! This tasty casserole is made easy in your slow cooker. Full of Kielbasa smoked sausage, baby potatoes, and a creamy cheese sauce!
Please tell me that you guys are familiar with, and eat sausage and potatoes? It's one of my favorite comfort food dinners all year round. I can't get enough of that tender sausage and melt in your mouth potato combination!
When I was growing up, we had sausage and potatoes probably once a week and I always looked forward to it! My mom would just cook up a big skillet of smoked sausage, potatoes, and onions and they were delicious slathered in mustard.
As I got older my parents started making something they fondly call "cowboy potatoes" out on the grill in the summertime. Same tasty sausage/potato combination but they add a can of cheese soup, some peppers and onions and holy heaven it's amazing!
So, basically, now that I'm all grown up I've gone and married those two favorite dishes of mine together! And, of course, I made it into a slow cooker meal, because we already know I can't get enough of my crockpot!
It's honestly the cheesy sauce that really makes this for me. I pretty much want to just lick it off of my plate! As far as soups go, you can use whatever you like. I am a big cheese fan so I use one can of cheddar cheese soup, and one cream of chicken.
We keep it simple around here and serve this hearty dinner with a side of either green beans, or a big salad. Then, of course, a side of dinner rolls to mop up that delicious saucy goodness! I'm partial to my homemade Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls because they're quick and easy, ready in 30 minutes!
Enjoy!

Have made this several times! It's excellent! Thank you!
Could you add mushrooms and peppers also
I came across this recipe while searching for cheesy potatoes recipes. Thought it looked good and decided last minute that I had to try it, BUT it was too late to do it in the crock pot and I only had canned sliced potatoes. So I heated the cheese sauce mixture in a saucepan and put everything in a casserole and baked for about an hour. We really liked it! I cant wait to do it in the crock pot with the baby potatoes! oh and it does go great with green beans, thank for that too 🙂
What size crock pot would you need to make this? Or can it be cut down to make less servings? I have a small crock pot for only 2 people. Thanks! I'm looking forward to making this!
I use a 6 quart for this recipe. You may be able to cut it in half as long as your crock pot is 2-3 quart.
Can you make this with something more like a bratwurst?
Yes
I bought condensed soup am suppose to ad water t soupmix? Please let me know thanonyou
No
Do you use raw or precooked sausage?
Pre-cooked smoked sausage 🙂
Do I use the precooked sausage on the shelf or fresh from the meat dept?
Ok I do not cook but this sounds great, is the cooked before going in crock pot? I know sounds crazy but don't want to mess up.
Hi, you do not need to cook anything before adding to the crockpot. Hope that helps 🙂
Trying these tonight, just got it going so should be ready right when I walk in the door from work! I changed a few things due to not having all ingredients on hand ...hoping it's as good as it sounds!
The flavor is good and the potatoes cooked perfectly. We ended up with a pretty watery sauce (we wanted more of a chowder consistency) so we added a few tablespoons of cornstarch and water and let it cook another half hour to thicken. Worked pretty well!
In a pinch you can always use a little instant potatoes to thicken your sauce
My dad loved to cook sausage and potatoes, I know how you feel:) I think you could add potatoes to anything and call it dinner;P
Mmmm, love the idea of that cheese sauce!
