Crockpot Polish Sausage Stew

For those who still have their crockpots after the This Is Us fiasco, here is a simple, yet delicious recipe that I highly recommend you try!

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

5 medium red potatoes
1 medium onion (I used half a large)
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
3 ribs celery
3 medium carrots
1 pack of polish sausage
4 tablespoons olive oil ( highly recommend using Thrive Algae Oil)
1/4 cup of fresh basil (Can Substitute this with dried basil, roughly 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can cream of potato

Finishing Touches

1/4 cup milk
1/8 cup melted butter
4 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons water

• Combine the minced basil, cubed potatoes, chopped onion, red and green bell pepper, celery, carrots, and sausage in the crockpot.
• In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Along with the cream of potato, mix this into the crockpot and stir to coat evenly.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours. if you are in a time crunch, you can also cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours.
• Towards the end, combine the cornstarch and water then whisking until smooth. Along with the milk and butter, stir into the stew.
• Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes to thicken the soup.
• Enjoy!

Tips

• Use a crockpot liner to cut back on the mess!
• Enjoy this with some form of carbs. I love eating this with a slice of bread or saltine crackers.
• As with all recipes, adjust to your preference!

All the cut ingredients mixed up in the crockpot.

Almost forgot the cream of potato, that would've been a disaster.
