🌭🌽 Smoked Sausage and Corn (Slow Cooker)
Smoked sausage and corn in a slow cooker is an easy, hearty, and flavorful meal. The sausage infuses the corn (and any added vegetables) with smoky richness, making it perfect for a set-it-and-forget-it dinner.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1–2 lbs smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or Cajun seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup chicken broth or water
🔥 Instructions

- Combine in slow cooker: Place sausage, corn, onion, bell pepper, garlic, diced tomatoes, seasoning, and broth in the slow cooker.
- Cook:
