Flavor Variation Ideas

• Add Cheese. – If you want to try something new, add cheese to the recipe. My kids love when I top this recipe with cheese. They call it cheesy potatoes and ask for this all of the time. I also love topping mine with a little bit of sour cream.

• Add Veggies. – You can also add in some vegetables to potatoes and sausage for extra veggies. Fresh Green beans, green beans, carrots or red bell peppers would all be delicious in this recipe. Add these in for the last 2-3 hours so that they don’t get over cooked.

• Make it Creamy. – Try adding cheddar cheese soup, cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup to this slow cooker recipe. Mix the cream soup with the chicken broth before adding it into the crock pot.

• Add some Spice. – If you love spicy foods, add in 1-2 tsp of Creole seasoning, cajun seasoning or red pepper flakes when making this recipe to add a little kick to this dinner.

• Add a Ranch Flavoring. – If you love the flavor of ranch, stir in a ranch seasoning packet with the chicken broth before adding it to the crock pot to change up the flavor on this recipe.

• Use your favorite type of Potatoes. – I used whole baby potatoes in this recipe but you can easily use any of your favorite instead. Peeled and diced Russet potatoes, red potatoes or sweet potatoes would all be delicious in this crock pot recipe.

• Leave out the Tomatoes. – If you don’t love tomatoes, you can easily leave them out or use a tomato sauce instead.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Sausage and Potatoes?

• Serve it with a salad. – Serve it with a simple side salad. It makes me feel better having a side salad with this hearty meal.

• Serve it with a roasted veggie. – You can also roast your favorite green vegetable and serve it with this simple crock pot meal. Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Green Beans or Roasted Asparagus would all be delicious with this meal.

• Add some bread. – Make these Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and you are set for a delicious and wonderful meal everyone will love.
