A cozy, dump-and-go meal that brings comfort to your table with zero hassle.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about coming home to the mouthwatering aroma of a hearty slow cooker meal—especially when it’s as rich and creamy as this Creamy Sausage & Potato Slow Cooker Dinner. It’s a humble dish, yet packed with flavor, warmth, and everything you crave after a long day. Smoked sausage delivers a deep, savory flavor that pairs beautifully with the creaminess of the mushroom soup and tender russet potatoes. Best of all? It requires minimal prep and uses pantry staples, making it the ultimate comfort food with a lazy-day twist.

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp onion powder or 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

👩‍🍳 Preparation Steps

  1. Make the creamy base
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until completely smooth. This will be your rich and velvety sauce.
  2. Layer the ingredients
    In your slow cooker, layer the chopped potatoes on the bottom and evenly scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the top.
  3. Combine & season
    Pour the soup and milk mixture over the sausage and potatoes. Stir gently to coat everything. If you’re using chopped onions or onion powder, sprinkle it in now for an added layer of flavor.
  4. Let it cook
    Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker to low. Cook for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is infused with the creamy sauce.
  5. Serve & savor
    Give everything a gentle stir before serving. Spoon generous portions into bowls and enjoy it as-is, or pair it with a green salad or crusty bread.

🔄 Variations & Tips

  • Spice it up: Add a dash of paprika, cayenne, or a spoonful of Dijon mustard for extra depth.
