Instructions

Step 1

Use a heavy bottom stock pot and place it over medium high heat. Drizzle in your olive oil and heat it up for about one minute.

Step 2

Gently add your cut up sausage into the pot and sear it for 2-3 minutes, until it is browned on all sides.

Step 3

Now add your chopped onion into the pot and continuously stir it around until they are softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Next, add your minced garlic into the pot with the sausage and onion, and stir it around for about 1 minute (careful not to burn the garlic).

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the pot and stir it in to absorb all of the grease from the olive oil and sausage. Continue to stir for 1-2 minutes to help cook off the flour taste.

Step 6

Now gently pour your chicken broth into the pot while you continue to stir to make sure the flour is fully incorporated into the liquid.

Step 7

Gently add in the green beans and the potatoes. Then sprinkle in all of your seasonings including the seasoned salt, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder.

Step 8

Stir the green beans up so that all of the seasonings are combined. Turn the heat down to medium low, and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 9

Simmer the smothered green beans for 30 minutes, the potatoes should be fork tender. Stir around to help break the potatoes up a bit to thicken the liquid.

Step 10

Taste to check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to your liking.

Step 11

Serve right away, and enjoy!
