Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans
I saw a recipe for foil packets that had sausage, potatoes and beans in it. I thought it sounded good but in all reality I would probably never make them since I don’t really camp or use my grill that often. I decided to transform the recipe into a one pot Instant Pot meal. It worked out perfectly and the flavors were so scrumptious.
I don’t like cajun seasoning.If you’re not a fan of cajun seasoning your could use kielbasa sausage instead of andouille and use a different seasoning like montreal chicken seasoning or lemon pepper seasoning.
Where did you find your sausage? There are all sorts of types of sausage. For example chicken sausage with apples or kielbasa sausage. They look like plump hot dogs and come in a 12 ounce package. Really you could use any kind of sausage that you want. I chose an andouille cajun style sausage. I found mine in the grocery store by the bacon and other cured meats.
Can I use canned green beans? No. Don’t do it! Fresh green beans taste so great in this meal so use fresh. Plus canned green beans would get really mushy.
I don’t like mushrooms. It’s fine. You don’t have to add mushrooms in. You can definitely leave them out.
Can I use another type of potato besides red potatoes? You can. Yellow potatoes will cook at the same rate as red potatoes. Russet potatoes will take a bit longer and I would peel the russet potatoes if I were you. Add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time for russet potatoes.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?
To make Instant Pot Cajun Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans I used my 6 quartInstant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.
