Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Baby Potatoes: The Easiest Weeknight Dinner You'll Ever Make

Some dinners feel like a reward at the end of a long day, and this slow cooker kielbasa and baby potatoes recipe is exactly that. With just a handful of ingredients and almost zero prep work, you can walk through the door to a hot, hearty meal that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. Spoiler: you didn't.

This recipe is the definition of dump-and-go. You toss everything into the slow cooker raw, set it, and let the magic happen. The kielbasa renders its smoky, savory juices right into the potatoes, creating a rich, deeply flavored dish that the whole family will be fighting over. It disappears so fast, you might want to make a double batch.

Why This Recipe Works

Baby potatoes are perfect for slow cooking because they hold their shape beautifully while becoming wonderfully tender on the inside. Kielbasa, already fully cooked, infuses everything around it with its bold, smoky flavor as it slowly heats through. The combination is rustic, satisfying, and completely unfussy — exactly what a weeknight dinner should be.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound kielbasa (smoked sausage), sliced into thick rounds
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (a mix of red and yellow works great), halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
