Instructions

1. Add sliced kielbasa, green beans, potatoes, and chopped onions to the crockpot.

2. Sprinkle with minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. Pour chicken broth evenly over the top and dot with pieces of butter.

4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender and flavors are well combined.

5. Gently stir halfway through cooking to ensure even flavor distribution.

6. Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Red or yellow baby potatoes both work well—no need to peel.

For a quicker version, use canned green beans (drained) instead of fresh.

Great as a standalone meal or served with crusty bread.
