Ingredients

24 Ounces Andouille Sausage Sliced Into Coins, Kielbasa Also Works
1 ½ Pounds Red Potatoes Halved
12 Ounces Fresh Green Beans Ends Trimmed
1 Onion Diced
3 Cloves Garlic Minced
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup 10.5 Ounces
1 Cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 ½ Teaspoons Cajun Seasoning I Used Tony Chachere's
Salt and Pepper To Taste
1 ½ Cups Cheddar Cheese Freshly Shredded

Instructions

Optional but highly encouraged: In a large skillet cook sausage until browned on all sides. Set aside. Sweat onion for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for one more minute.
Deglaze pan with chicken broth scraping up any browned bits.
Add smoked sausage, potatoes, onion/garlic mixture into slow cooker.
In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken broth from pan, Cajun seasoning, and salt/pepper.
Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for around 3 hours until potatoes are tender. Add green beans during the last 1-1 ½ hours of cooking.
Stir in the shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of cooking and allow to melt. Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer softer green beans you can add them at the beginning with the potatoes.

You can substitute frozen green beans if fresh are out of season. Avoid canned unless you add them just before serving as they'll get mushy.
