Directions

1. Trim the ends from the GREEN BEANS and rinse them thoroughly.
2. Cut the skin-on RED POTATOES into bite-sized cubes, keeping the pieces relatively even so they cook at the same rate.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the ONION until softened and lightly translucent.
4. Add the GARLIC and cook briefly until fragrant. Avoid browning or burning it.
5. Add the sliced TURKEY SAUSAGE to the skillet and cook until the edges become lightly crisp and browned.
6. Cook the BACON until browned, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
7. In a small bowl, whisk the CORNSTARCH with a small amount of water until completely smooth and free of lumps.
8. Add the green beans, potatoes, sautéed onion and garlic, turkey sausage, and chopped bacon to the slow cooker.
9. Pour in the CHICKEN STOCK and cornstarch slurry.
10. Add the SALTED BUTTER.
11. Season with SALT, BLACK PEPPER, ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, PAPRIKA, and RED CHILI FLAKES to taste.
12. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed and coated in the broth and seasonings.
13. Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for approximately 4 hours.
14. Check that the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are soft and fully flavored.
15. Stir gently before serving so the melted butter, seasonings, and thickened broth coat the green beans and other ingredients.
16. Serve hot as a comforting side dish alongside your favorite Southern-style main course.
