Ingredients
  

1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille), sliced into ½-inch rounds

1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)

3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 large onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Halve or quarter the baby potatoes, peel and chop the carrots, dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Set them aside to make assembly easier.

    Sauté the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is nicely browned. Browning the sausage enhances its flavor. After browning, transfer it to your crockpot.

      Combine the Ingredients: In the crockpot, create layers beginning with the halved potatoes, followed by the carrot pieces, diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Spread the vegetable layers evenly over the sausage.

        Add Broth & Seasonings: Carefully pour the vegetable or chicken broth over the layered ingredients in the crockpot. Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper evenly atop the mixture.

          Cook Time: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The dish is ready when the potatoes and carrots are tender, giving you that comforting autumn flare.

            Serve & Garnish: Once cooking is complete, stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. For a fresh finishing touch, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.

              Enjoy: Ladle the warm, hearty medley into bowls and savor the cozy flavors of fall, perfect for any gathering or family dinner!
