Everyone has a go-to dish at home. For us, it’s this Crockpot Turkey Sausage, Green Beans, and Potatoes. It’s easy to make, fills you up, and always tastes good. If you’re busy or just want something you don’t have to fuss with, this is it.
The first time I had this was when Michael made the stovetop version. We had just started dating, and I think he was trying to impress me. It worked. We’ve made it more times than I can count since getting married.
Later on, I started using the crockpot version. It’s just as easy and lets me throw everything in before work. That way, dinner’s ready when I get home, no waiting.
