🥘 One-Pan Smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Onions & Green Beans

A simple, hearty, and delicious one-pan meal — perfect for busy weeknights. Everything cooks together in butter and olive oil, letting the flavors meld while keeping cleanup minimal.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 yellow onion, diced

1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), sliced or cubed

3–4 medium potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cubed or sliced

1–2 cups fresh or canned green beans, drained if canned

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Pan

  1. Place a large frying pan or skillet over medium to medium-low heat.
  2. Add olive oil and butter; let butter melt and the mixture get hot but not smoking.

Step 2: Cook the Onions

  1. Add the diced onions to the pan.
  2. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften and become translucent.

Step 3: Add the Smoked Sausage

  1. Stir in the sliced or cubed smoked sausage.
  2. Cook for 3–4 minutes, letting it brown lightly and release its flavors.

Step 4: Add the Potatoes

  1. Add the cubed or sliced potatoes to the pan.
  2. Stir well to coat with butter and oil.
  3. Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and slightly golden.

Step 5: Add the Green Beans

  1. Stir in the green beans (fresh or drained canned).
  2. Cook for another 5–7 minutes, until the beans are heated through and slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6: Season and Serve

  1. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or paprika.
  2. Stir gently to combine all flavors.
  3. Serve hot straight from the pan — a complete meal in one dish!

🌟 Tips

Uniform sizes: Cut the potatoes and sausage evenly so everything cooks at the same rate.

Extra crisp: Let the potatoes sit undisturbed for a few minutes to get a golden crust.

Vegetable swaps: Bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms also work well in this one-pan dish.

🍽️ Serving Ideas

Serve with a fried egg on top for breakfast-for-dinner vibes.

Pair with crusty bread to soak up the buttery pan juices.

Drizzle a little hot sauce or sprinkle grated cheese on top for added flavor.
