Instructions

Prep Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into ½-inch rounds and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Rinse and trim the green beans.
Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper thoroughly.
Brown Sausage: Spray a Dutch oven or deep pan with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Sauté Potatoes: Add butter to the pot over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes along with half of the seasoning mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Add Green Beans and Broth: Add the green beans to the pot and sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the potatoes and beans. Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the vegetables.
Cook: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Let the mixture cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and green beans are tender when pierced with a fork.
Combine and Serve: Return the browned sausage to the pot, stir to combine all ingredients evenly, and serve hot.

Notes

Smoked sausage varieties such as Andouille, Kielbasa, or smoked Polish sausage work well for this recipe.
Using smoked paprika will enhance the smoky flavor, but regular paprika can be used as a substitute.
Low-sodium chicken broth helps control the saltiness of the dish, but regular broth or vegetable broth can be used.
Feel free to add diced onions along with the potatoes for extra flavor.
