Make Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes and Kielbasa
This recipe is seriously so easy, so there aren’t many steps! Start by spraying a crockpot with cooking spray and add one bag of the frozen Potatoes O’Brien with peppers and onions.
Slice two packs of kielbasa into thin rounds and pour them into the crockpot. I used the Polska Kielbasa, but really any of the varieties of kielbasa/smoked sausage will work in this recipe.
Next, add 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 1 packet of ranch dressing seasoning. If you don’t like the cream of chicken soup, you could use mushroom, celery, or even the condensed cheddar soup. The cream of chicken soup gives it a creamy consistency.

Stir everything together well.
Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
Once the potatoes are tender, top with 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese and let it sit in the crockpot for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
Serve Cheesy Potatoes and Kielbasa
Once the cheese is nice and melted, it’s time to eat! I like to top this dish with some chopped green onions for some color and freshness.
