Steps / Instructions

Troubleshooting / Pro Tips

• Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly to promote uniform cooking.
• If the dish is too watery, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
• For added flavor, consider browning the sausage in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) and stir it in about 30 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

This dish is perfect on its own but pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or some warm, crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside steamed vegetables or a simple dessert like Hamburger Potato Casserole or Blueberry Dump Cake.

FAQ

• Can I make this ahead of time or meal prep?

• Can I freeze it, and how do I reheat it properly?

  For a gluten-free option, ensure the sausage and broth are gluten-free. You can also use other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers.
• Why did my dish turn out too salty?
  If you’re using store-bought broth, opt for low-sodium varieties, as they can impact the overall saltiness of the dish.

Ingredients

US Metric

• 1 pound beef sausage (your choice, sliced)
• 1.5 pounds red potatoes (washed and quartered)
• 2 cups frozen corn
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 medium onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

1.

Start by preparing your ingredients. Slice the beef sausage and quarter the red potatoes. Having everything ready makes the cooking process smoother.

2.

In the crockpot, layer the quartered red potatoes along the bottom. This will help them cook evenly.

3.

Add the sliced beef sausage on top of the potatoes, ensuring even distribution.

4.

Sprinkle the frozen corn over the sausage. Don’t worry about thawing the corn; it will cook perfectly in the slow cooker.

5.

In a separate bowl, mix the beef broth, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Pour this mixture evenly over the contents of the crockpot.

6.

Dot the top with the butter. This step adds a rich flavor and helps to create a comforting sauce.

7.

Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. The longer you cook it, the more flavorful it becomes.

8.

Once cooked, check the potatoes for tenderness. They should be easy to pierce with a fork. Serve hot, and enjoy the delightful mingling of flavors!
