Prep your ingredients
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Slice the sausage into thick coins. If using fresh green beans, trim the ends.
Layer in the Crockpot
In a 6-quart slow cooker, layer as follows:
Potatoes on the bottom
Then sausage
Then green beans
Top with diced onion, if using
Season & butter it up
Sprinkle all the seasonings evenly over the top. Add the dry ranch or soup mix if using. Dot with butter slices across the surface. Pour in broth if you want it a bit saucier.
Cover and cook on:
Low for 6–8 hours, or
High for 3–4 hours,
Until potatoes are fork-tender and green beans are soft.
Stir & serve
Stir everything gently to coat in that buttery, seasoned goodness. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm—with cornbread or crusty bread for sopping up that “swamp sauce.”
