Smothered Potatoes with Sausage and Tasso Cooked Up in Rice Cooker

The ease of this recipe impressed my husband. He was surprised we could press the button, leave and go Stine Lumber and not have to worry about anything burning and then come back home and the meal is done. I actually used only half the butter called for in the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound smoked link sausage, sliced into bite-size pieces and browned
  • 1/2 pound (8 oz) smoked pork tasso, diced large & browned lightly
  • 2 pounds white or red potatoes, peeled and diced;
  • 7 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 stick butter, 8 oz chopped
  • 1 oz) envelope onion soup mix
  • 2 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Add all ingredients to rice cooker, stir, cover and cook.

When we made this, the recipe cooked for 52 minutes and made it up to the 6-cup level.

Step 2

If your rice cooker has options of boil/simmer, white rice, whole grain, or steam cook? - use the "white rice" setting...Throw in a can of rotel and it is awesome
