Layered potatoes, smoked sausage, and green beans cooked slowly for a hearty, flavorful meal.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Vegetables

01 - 4 medium yellow potatoes, washed and quartered
02 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced
03 - 1 can (14.5 oz) green beans, drained

→ Meat

04 - 12 oz smoked sausage (Andouille, kielbasa, or beef smoked sausage), sliced

→ Seasonings

05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1 packet (about 1 tablespoon) Italian dressing seasoning mix

→ Fats

11 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, whole stick

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Wash and quarter yellow potatoes, then place them at the bottom of the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
02 - Scatter diced yellow onions over the seasoned potatoes and gently mix to combine.
03 - Arrange sliced smoked sausage on top of the potato and onion mixture, then add drained green beans evenly over the ingredients.
04 - Sprinkle Italian dressing seasoning mix evenly over the entire dish. Place the whole stick of unsalted butter on top without cutting.
05 - Cover with the slow cooker lid and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until potatoes are tender and flavors meld.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For a stronger onion flavor, substitute yellow onion with diced shallots. Fresh or frozen green beans can be used instead of canned for firmer texture.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated gently.
