Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Slow Cooker Swamp Potatoes
  1. Begin by washing and halving the small baby potatoes. Slice the smoky sausage into bite-sized pieces and trim the ends of the fresh green beans.
  2. Layer the prepared potatoes, sausage, and green beans in the slow cooker, tucking the green beans amongst the potatoes and sausage.
  3. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and Cajun seasoning over the ingredients. Mix gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
  4. Pour the beef broth over the ingredients, ensuring it covers everything.
  5. Distribute the butter evenly across the top of the mixture.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Carefully stir the swamp potatoes before serving, dish out portions, and enjoy with crusty bread.
