4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Sausage Supper
Servings: 4
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Raw sausage links (Italian, bratwurst, or smoked-style raw sausage) | 1 1/2 pounds |
| Baby potatoes, halved (or chunked regular potatoes) | 2 pounds |
| Large onion, sliced | 1 |
| Condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken) | 1 can (10.5 ounces) |
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Spread the potatoes in an even layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layer the sliced onion over the potatoes.
Arrange the raw sausage links on top, spacing them out so they cook evenly.
Spoon the condensed soup over the sausage and vegetables, spreading it gently; it will thin into a sauce as it cooks.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Stir gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce without breaking up the potatoes.
Serve hot, making sure each portion includes sausage, potatoes, onions, and plenty of sauce.
Variations & Tips
Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter version, keeping link-style sausage so it holds together during cooking. For a tomato-based twist, replace the condensed soup with diced tomatoes mixed with tomato sauce or marinara. Browning the sausage briefly before slow cooking adds extra depth of flavor. Add baby carrots or sliced bell peppers for more vegetables, or choose hot Italian sausage or red pepper flakes for heat. For easy meal prep, assemble everything in the slow cooker insert the night before, refrigerate, and start cooking in the morning.
