Description
A hearty and comforting meal featuring kielbasa, potatoes, and green beans simmered in savory broth, perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound kielbasa, sliced
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables: trim the green beans, halve the baby potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Add everything to the crockpot: place the potatoes in first, then the green beans, chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced kielbasa.
- Season: sprinkle the black pepper and thyme evenly over the top.
- Pour in the chicken broth so it reaches the level of the vegetables without completely submerging the kielbasa.
- Cook: cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until potatoes are tender and green beans are cooked.
- Serve warm: stir gently to mix juices before spooning onto plates.
Notes
For a saucier finish, remove 1 cup of cooking liquid, whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch, then stir back into the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 10–15 minutes.
