Crockpot Sausage and Potato Bake Kicks Butt

Tired of making the same old brunch on the weekends? I was, and after googling for some easy recipes that would serve up a delicious brunch offering, I struck gold! Thanks to ND_Dawn, who posted her 4 Ingredient Sausage and Potato Bake on Recipezaar. I’ve made a couple adjustments to make this a lower in fat brunch which can be made in the crockpot (love that kitchen tool). :)

My family loved this recipe. We came home ‘starving’ after a longer than usual mass. I was thankful my husband had started this crockpot recipe early Sunday morning, so that brunch would be ready when we got home. When we arrived back home, the aroma in our kitchen from this Sausage and Potato Bake was wonderful!

The smokiness and slight spiciness of the turkey smoked sausage permeates the entire dish and adds an addictive, delicious flavor. The crunch of the corn is also delightful, and something my kids loved. I served the Sausage and Potato bake with a few sliced Ugly Ripe Tomatoes (sprinkled with a little salt and pepper). There was one serving left; my 7-year-old claimed it for her breakfast the next morning.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours, 5 minutes

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 14 oz. turkey smoked sausage, sliced (the Lite smoked sausage contained more fat than the turkey smoked sausage, so be sure to read the labels!)
  • 10 3/4 oz. can Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, reduced sodium Beef broth
  • 16 oz. frozen hash browns

Directions

Put all ingredients into crockpot. Stir. Make sure the smoked sausage is not touching the sides of the crockpot, as it may get overcooked there.

Cook on high for 4 hours. Enjoy!

  • Denise,
    I'm always in search of lower in fat brunch ideas--especially ones that I can do in the crockpot before church! Now if I could find another crockpot brunch recipe and rotate them every Sunday...that would be lovely! :)
  • This sounds lovely and the thought of leaving everything in the pot, putting on the lid then walking away and not coming back for hours and hours sounds so tempting!
    .-= denise @ quickies on the dinner table´s last blog ..just pointing in the general direction =-.
  • I'm usually anti-crockpot because most if it is all just fat & carbs, but this recipe actually sounds like something I'd eat, except I'd use Italian sweet pork sausage, instead.

  • Peyton,
    I know, I generally only use my crockpot once in a blue moon just because most of the recipes that turn out well have fatty pieces of meat in them. There's nothing wrong with a good BBQ Boston Pork Butt, except that you don't want to eat that kind of dish all the time! :)

    But this brunch recipe came out really well, considering that I was successful in lightening it. Let me know if you try it and tweak it further...it's always good to hear success stories! :)
  • Lea,
    Let me know how it turns out in your crockpot! Oooh, I must go check out your photography site.

    This sounds great. I love to use my crock pot; just put everything together and set it and forget it. Great ideas! Thank you.
