- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 4 potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Begin by slicing the smoked sausage, dicing the potatoes, and chopping the onion and bell pepper to ensure all are ready to go into the crockpot.
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Add the sliced sausage, diced potatoes, chopped onion and bell pepper, canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and paprika directly into the crockpot. This layering will allow the flavors to meld as they cook.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the ingredients to enhance the overall flavor profile of the casserole.

Notes
- For a spicier kick, consider adding smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make it slightly lighter or vegetarian (omit sausage).
- Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Ensure potatoes are diced evenly for consistent cooking.
