One of my favorite things is to go out early in the morning (ok, “early” is relative…wink, wink) and pick fresh veggies from the garden. This morning I was out in the garden enjoying the warmth and sunshine, and loving every minute of it.
Tis the season for green beans at my house. I swear I needed to start picking again because of all the growth that took place by the time I had gotten through the rows! Don’t get me wrong. I’m really thankful for extras that can be frozen for the long Ohio winter. But on days like this, there is nothing like a pot of fresh green beans for dinner. I like to make my beans the meal and I do that by simply adding a meat and potato…right to the same pot.
This is what I use…
1/2 kettle of cleaned green beans
1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa (cubed)
6 medium potatoes (cubed)
salt to taste
I throw all this in the pot and cover with water.
Then I cook covered on medium heat for about an hour.
That’s it! It’s simple, delicious, and all in one pot!
That looks sooo good, I hope you were able to use the coupon for the turkey sausage. I had never tried it before, but decided to try it when it went on sale. Pleasantly surprised. Also, LOVE the pot!
As an Ohio gal too I’ve made this many times. I’ve used ham also but the kielbasa has more flavor. Thanks for sharing!
That looks awesome! I would never have thought to mix the green beans with Kielbasa…bacon maybe. I look forward to trying this out! Although I might have to use some Italian sausage on hand since I’m trying to stick to my budget this week.
Thanks for posting!
That looks wonderful. I sometimes crave a big plate of green beans. I often think I could make a meal out of them. Now, I have an excuse to do just that. Yum!
Wow this looks so good! I love green beans!
Please feel free to link up your green bean meals to my new Make Yourself Blog Hop!

This just made me remember how much I love fresh green beans! I will be picking some up and planting my own next year! So simple and so delish, I always add smoked sausage & potatoes to green beans and toss them in foil packets on the grill, but now I need fresh beans! 🙂 I hopped over from Polly want a Crafter and I'll be back!

I WILL be making this tonight! Thank you for linking to Wicked Awesome Wednesday.
Yum! I grew up in a Polish neighborhood in Philly and the bitties always made this, but with ham instead of kielbasa.
I am so craving some now..
I've been having a hard time getting my beans to taste good. I think I could do this. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds yummy and easy! We have tons of green beans right now too. I also do something similar except we add diced tomatoes and saute more than cook.
OMGoodness this looks so yummy! I will be making this as soon as I can get some green beans from the farmers market Saturday! I've pinned it so I don't lose it!
I love this! Someone gave us (my hubby & I) 8-10 jars of home-canned greenbeans that i've been using as a side dish with some of our meals. Never thought about using them as the main coarse! LOVE IT!

Love it. Looks like a good crockpot dish I’d love to try
this looks so yummy will be trying this for sure
Yep, that is an excellent idea and I happen to have a mound of my own green beans, some potatoes from the farmers market and some sausage in the freezer. Brilliant!!
That looks so delicious….I may have to try that for tonight’s supper….what do you think of using ham?
this looks so yummy! Thanks so much for linking up to Tuesday Talent Show! I would love to have you stop by and link up again tomorrow with more great projects!

Yum! I love fresh green beans! That's definitely something I miss living in an apartment (a garden). Next summer I plan to do a lot of container gardening. I have fresh herbs inside and I love that!
