And let me tell you something, I was right to be excited because this might just be one of the BEST crockpot recipes Iโve ever made! Iโm not even kidding. Itโs ridiculously easy, and when you look at the ingredients, you might think, how could this possibly taste THAT good? Well, let me assure you, IT DOES!
Of course, I had to make these TikTok Viral Swamp Potatoes my way. I knew this combination of smoky sausage, tender baby gold potatoes, green beans, onions, garlic, and buttery Cajun seasonings was going to be delicious, but I also knew it needed one extra ingredient to take it completely over the top.ย TOMATO PASTE!ย Just two tablespoons make the most unbelievable difference. Everything cooks together in the crockpot and creates its own rich, buttery, savory juices. And when I tell you to serve this with Texas toast to soak up every last drop, TRUST ME!

Melissaโs Tips!
- Do NOT add chicken stock! I know youโre going to look at the crockpot and think there isnโt enough liquid. But Iโm telling you, donโt do it! As everything cooks, the vegetables release moisture, the butter melts, and the sausage adds even more flavor. Youโre going to end up with the most delicious juices without adding a single drop of broth.
- Donโt skip the tomato paste. This is my little twist on the TikTok viral recipe, and I really think itโs what takes this dish to the next level. It gives the juices richness and makes all those flavors come together beautifully.
- Slice your smoked sausage diagonally. Not only does it look pretty, but you get those nice pieces of sausage throughout the entire dish.
- Watch the salt. Tonyโs Creole seasoning, onion soup mix, salted butter, and smoked sausage all contain salt, so thereโs no need to add extra salt before cooking. Taste it at the end.
- Serve it with Texas toast. Iโm telling you, this is the way to go. You want something to soak up all that delicious buttery sauce!
๐ค Common Questions
No! The potatoes, green beans, onions, sausage, and butter create plenty of flavorful juices as they cook. Adding broth can water down those rich, savory flavors.
Absolutely! You can chop your vegetables and slice the sausage ahead of time. Store everything in the refrigerator until youโre ready to assemble the crockpot. Keep the cut potatoes submerged in cold water in the refrigerator and drain them before cooking.
I use smoked sausage because it adds such a delicious smoky flavor to the potatoes and vegetables. You can also use smoked kielbasa or another fully cooked smoked sausage that you enjoy.
