    Green beans, potatoes, sausage, red bell peppers and onions in a white serving dish with a wooden spoon.

    Equipment Needed:

    • Instant Pot 6 Quart Pressure Cooker (model used in this recipe was the Instant Pot Duo Gourmet 6 Quart Pressure Cooker)
    • Cutting Board
    • Chef’s Knife
    • Large Wooden Spoon or Plastic Stirring Spoon

    Ingredients:

    Instant Pot Green Beans Potatoes and Sausage labeled ingredients: green beans, russet potato, smoked sausage, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, chick broth, olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic power.
    • Olive Oil
    • Smoked Sausage - One fully cooked 14 oz package. You can also use smoked turkey sausage, smoked beef sausage, kielbasa or smoked Andouille sausage
    • Sweet Onion - you can also use yellow or white onion
    • Garlic
    • Red Bell Pepper
    • Chicken Stock - You can also use chicken broth, beef broth or vegetable broth
    • Fresh Green Beans - I recommend using fresh green beans but you can also used canned if that’s what you have.
    • Russet Potato - medium to large in size
    • Seasonings - Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder

    Pro Tips:

    • Season to your taste. You can increase or decrease the seasoning of this recipe it you’d like.
    • Layer the green beans and potatoes. You will want to make sure that you put the potatoes over the green beans and do not stir. This will keep the potatoes on top and not at the bottom where they can overcook.
    • Be sure to deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot after browning the smoked sausage and sautéing the onions. Pour the chicken stock into the Instant Pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up all of the brown bits that may have stuck to the bottom. These bits are packed full of flavor and deglazing will help to avoid a burn notice.
    • Save time by buying a bag of fresh green beans that are already prewashed and trimmed.
    • Most smoked sausage comes fully cooked. Check your packaging to make sure that it’s precooked and if not, you will need to cook it thoroughly on the sauté mode before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.

    Q&A:

    Can I use canned green beans in this recipe?

    Yes. You can use canned green beans in this recipe. I tested this recipe using canned green beans as well and it turned out great. The green beans were very tender and flavorful. I used 2 (14.5oz) cans of cut green beans, drained.

    Can I use water instead of chicken stock?

    I recommend using chicken stock or a broth for maximum flavor, but you can also use water if that is all you have on hand.

    Instructions:

    1. Start by slicing and deseeding the red bell pepper. Chop the onion and cut the russet potato into 1 inch cubes. Then mince the garlic clove and cut your smoked sausage into 1 inch circles. Wash and trim green beans if needed.

    Sliced red bell pepper, chopped onion, cubed potato, cut smoked sausage, round silver dish holding minced garlic, and a chef's knife all on a white cutting board.

    2. On the control panel of the Instant Pot, press the Sauté button and wait for it to say Hot.
