Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

This slow cooker honey garlic smoked sausage and potatoes is the kind of hearty, fuss-free dinner that practically cooks itself. Tender baby potatoes and smoky sausage soak up a sweet-and-savory honey garlic sauce as they simmer low and slow, creating a comforting meal with minimal prep and maximum flavor.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 pounds smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch rounds
• 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Place the sliced smoked sausage and halved baby potatoes into a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Pour the sauce evenly over the sausage and potatoes. Stir gently to coat everything well.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Stir once or twice during cooking if possible to distribute the sauce evenly.
6. When the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, give everything a final stir.
7. Serve hot directly from the slow cooker, spooning extra sauce over each serving.
