Instructions

Prep Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Slice smoked sausage into ½-inch rounds. Dice the onion if using. Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Rinse and trim green beans.
Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Brown Sausage: Spray a Dutch oven or deep pan with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the sausage rounds and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Sauté Potatoes: Add butter to the same pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes along with half of the seasoning mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to brown and develop a golden crust, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Add Green Beans and Broth: Place the green beans into the pot with the potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the vegetables and mix well to combine. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the green beans and potatoes.
Cook: Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Let the mixture simmer gently for 15 minutes or until the potatoes and green beans are tender when pierced with a fork.
Combine and Serve: Return the browned smoked sausage to the pot and stir to incorporate evenly. Allow the dish to warm through for a minute or two, then serve hot directly from the pot.

Notes

Use smoked paprika if available to enhance the smoky flavor of the dish.
Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well during cooking, making them ideal for this recipe.
Low-sodium chicken broth helps control the saltiness; adjust seasoning as needed.
For a spicier twist, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
Vegetarian variation: replace sausage with smoked tofu or plant-based sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
