What to Serve with Smoked Sausage Hashbrown Casserole

• Since this casserole already has potatoes, sausage and cheese, I like to keep the sides simple. Serve it with fried okra, a simple garden salad or glazed carrots.
• Cornbread or cheddar bay biscuits are always a good addition if you’re feeding a hungry crowd.

Can You Make Smoked Sausage Hashbrown Casserole Ahead?

Yes. You can slice the sausage and onion and mix together with the creamy sauce ahead of time. Store everything covered in the refrigerator, then assemble with the hashbrowns and cheese when you’re ready to start the slow cooker.

Dirty rice is a classic Southern dish traditionally made with rice, meat, vegetables and plenty of seasoning. This simplified version uses ground sausage for rich flavor and everyday ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

Why You’ll Love This Crock Pot Dirty Rice

• Easy to prepare: Brown the sausage and vegetables, then let the slow cooker cook the rice perfectly.
• Made with simple ingredients: Everything in this recipe is easy to find and budget-friendly.
• Perfect for busy days: It cooks in about two hours with very little hands-on work.

Ingredients for Dirty Rice

• Olive oil: Used to sauté the vegetables and keep them from sticking to the skillet.
• Onion: Adds a slightly sweet, savory flavor to the rice.
• Bell pepper: Brings color, flavor and a little natural sweetness. Green bell pepper gives the dish a more traditional flavor, but any color will work.
• Celery: An optional addition that complements the onion and bell pepper. I was out of celery when I made this batch, and the dirty rice was still delicious.
• Ground sausage: Gives the dish its hearty texture and rich, savory flavor. Use mild or hot sausage depending on your preference.
• Granulated garlic: Adds plenty of garlic flavor and blends easily into the sausage mixture.
• Ground rosemary: Provides a subtle, earthy flavor that pairs well with the sausage and chicken broth.
• Kosher salt: Enhances all of the savory flavors. Adjust the amount depending on how salty your sausage and broth are.
• Black pepper: Adds mild heat and a classic peppery finish.
• Long-grain white rice: Cooks directly in the slow cooker and absorbs all of the flavorful broth and seasonings. Do not use instant rice.
• Chicken broth: Provides the liquid needed to cook the rice while adding more flavor than water.

Ingredient Notes for Cheesy Sausage Chicken and Rice Casserole

• Petit Jean Smoked Sausage: Slice the sausage into bite-sized rounds. The smoked sausage adds rich, savory flavor throughout the entire dish.
• Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs will work. Cut the chicken into small, evenly sized pieces so it cooks quickly and evenly.
• Rice: Long-grain white rice works best for this recipe. Do not substitute instant rice because it cooks much faster and can become mushy.
• Vegetables: Dice the onion, bell pepper into small pieces and shred the carrots so they become tender as the rice cooks.
• Spices: Granulated garlic, dried thyme, ground rosemary and smoked paprika add savory flavor along with salt and pepper.
• White Velveeta: White Velveeta makes the sauce extra creamy and smooth. Cut it into cubes so it melts quickly. Regular Velveeta works well too. Use smoked gouda or cheddar if preferred.
• Heavy cream: Stir the cream in at the end of the cooking time to add richness without allowing it to overcook. Use milk for a lighter sauce.

Crock Pot Smoked Sausage, Chicken and Rice is an easy way to turn simple ingredients into a warm and filling family dinner. The smoky sausage, tender chicken, seasoned vegetables and creamy cheese sauce make every bite delicious.

Serving Suggestions

This is a one pot dinner that doesn’t need a side dish but is delicious served with a salad, fried okra or garlic cheddar biscuits.
