Amy's Green Beans and Sausage Dish

I used my crockpot and added new potatoes and smoked turkey sausage after first two and a half hours on high then dropped the temp to low for two more hours, and beans were perfect. I added chopped onion and garlic and seasoned heavily with homemade seasoning salt. Outstanding comfort food on a cold day.

Been eating this my entire life - I don't think it's a "Southern" thing as I saw some one state - as I lived in Ohio almost my entire life and now Indiana, My grandmother always lived in Ohio and made it, my mother was born in W.Va but grew up in Ohio and also always made it - they both made it almost always with fresh green beans out of the garden. I don't I use a can of Cut Green beans juice and all We also add cut up onion (I use half a small onion) I've used both Red (new Potatoes) and regular russet Potatoes - no real difference other than red potatoes do seem to cook faster . We've always done it on the stove top in a pot, and cook it any where from 30 minutes to an hour , I have always started with the meat, potatoes, and onions 1st then when the potatoes are almost done I toss in the can of green beans (again juice and all) Toss in some salt and pepper , and once done I use a slotted spoon (I don't want the water/liquid) put some in my bowl top with butter , and sour cream and devour :) It's what's on the stove right this minute :)

I did this in a crock pot for 8 hours. I drizzled the red potatoes with olive oil and put it on low heat; and added just green peppers and a sweet onion. When the potatoes got close to being done within 4 hours I added the sausage. We added cheese over the potatoes when it was all done.
