- 1-½ pounds smoked beef sausage cut into 2-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a 6-qt. crock pot, layer the following ingredients: onion, garlic, red bell pepper, jalepeno, potatoes, beans tomatoes corn and the can of Ro*Tel.
- In a small dish, combine the salt, cumin, chili powder and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning over the crock pot ingredients then pour in the beef broth.
- Nestle the sausage chunks into the crock pot and add the lid to the crock pot. Set the heat to high and cook for 6 hours or low for 8 hours.
- Serve the casserole in shallow bowls garnished with chopped parsley and hot, baked cornbread!
Notes
- This casserole can be prepared without any pre-cooking. If you choose to substitute the smoked sausage with ground beef, we recommend that you brown the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker/crock pot.
- We used tiny, waxy yellow potatoes and left them whole. If using larger potatoes we recommend cutting them in ½-inch cubes or thick slices.
- Alternate choices for the canned beans would be: black beans, kidney beans, navy beans or cranberry beans.
- The smoky flavor from the sausages adds a cook-out flavor to the casserole.
- This casserole is mildly spicy.
