- 1 pound, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds smoked sausage
- 1 pound, trimmed green beans
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter

Instructions
Wash and dice the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the carrots, and chop the yellow onion.
In a large crock pot, layer the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped onion, and green beans.
Add the sliced smoked sausage on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the mixture, followed by paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the chicken broth evenly over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Dot the top with small pieces of butter for added richness.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is fully heated through.
Stir the ingredients gently before serving to combine flavors. Adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
Serve warm as a complete meal with crusty bread or cornbread on the side, if desired.
