Easy Thanksgiving Side Dish

Green beans are always a staple at our Thanksgiving table. I love to make these as side dish even though it has meat in it. Also, this recipe doesn't need the oven during the holidays. So it's a perfect way to utilize your slow cooker when your oven is on overload. Try this Kielbasa casserole as a fun change of pace to the typical green bean casserole.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR KIELBASA CASSEROLE

Kielbasa Casserole

What type of potatoes for kielbasa casserole?

You can use any potatoes you want like. I used red potatoes and typically use yukon gold in recipes. But feel free to use whatever you have on hand. The key to potatoes is to cut them in uniform shapes so they cook evenly. If you have big and little pieces they might cook too fast or slow leaving you with mushy potatoes or rock hard ones. Kielbasa Casserole works great whenever you have leftover potatoes. That's actually how I came up with this recipe... We had leftover potatoes that I needed to use AND green beans were on sale that week at the store!

What type of green beans for kielbasa casserole?

As far as the green beans go, fresh is best! Frozen greens beans work too but be prepared for them to release a little moisture to the dish. Canned beans can be used as well.

  • Sausage Kielbasa
  • Red potatoes
  • Green beans
  • Onions
  • Minced Garlic
  • Beef stock
  • Pepper
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

HOW TO MAKE KIELBASA CASSEROLE?

Layer potatoes on bottom of crockpot. Add onions on top of the potatoes.

Pour salt and minced garlic over layers. Try to distribute evenly.

Pour beef broth on top of everything and gently stir. Try to keep layers as in tact as possible.

Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.

Food Allergies-

Gluten-Free- I make all my recipes gluten-free since my husband has celiac disease, which means he is allergic to gluten. This meal is naturally gluten free so no substitutions necessary.

Need A New Crock Pot?

My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I'm not home when the food is finished cooking and it just switches to warm. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!

      Hi Kathryn, I used hillshire farms sausage kielbasa. It is usually near the hot dogs in the grocery store.

    Hello.

    I am in the UK and not sure what Kielbasa is. I know it is the Polish word for sausage but there are so many types! Is this raw or pre-cooked when you put it in? Is it pork or poultry? Is it smoked?

    Thanks
    Kerry

      Hi Kerry! This is the pre-cooked version and it comes in pork or beef in the US. It is usually smoked. It looks like it is called smoked polish style sausage when I look at the UK websites. I would guess it would be near the hot dogs if you have those. Also, you can easily use uncooked sausage in this recipe. Really any sausage will work great.

    If using canned green beans should they be drained first?

    Made this today and it was very good! I did add a little more garlic but not the red pepper! This will be in my rotation going forward
