Ingredients
  

Main 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) Optional for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until completely smooth.
  2. In your slow cooker, layer the chopped potatoes on the bottom and evenly scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the top.
  3. Pour the soup and milk mixture over the sausage and potatoes. Stir gently to coat everything. If using chopped onions or onion powder, sprinkle it in now.
  4. Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker to low. Cook for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Give everything a gentle stir before serving and spoon generous portions into bowls.

Notes

Add a dash of paprika, cayenne, or a spoonful of Dijon mustard for extra depth. Stir in frozen peas or corn during the last hour of cooking for added color. Try other proteins like kielbasa or turkey sausage for variations. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
