This recipe uses Potatoes O’Brien with peppers and onions, kielbasa, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, some shredded cheese, and chopped green onions.

Ingredients
- 28 oz bag frozen Potatoes O’Brien with peppers and onions
- 2 (14 oz) packs Polska Kielbasa
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 ranch seasoning packet
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 2-3 chopped green onions
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.
I like serving this meal with a big salad, but it would also be good with some green beans or roasted veggies.

Smoked buffalo chicken pasta with a salad sounds great.
Thanks I’m going to be trying this with my friend.and Also the chicken and dumplings too. Have a great day
This was good. It was nice to throw everything in the crock pot. I cooked for 6 hours and I feel like I should have done 5. The potatoes lost some of their texture. Additionally, I added a little Buffalo sauce drizzle on top to help balance out the seasonings.
