12 oz pkg hillshire farms beef lil smokies, halved
6-8 small red potatoes quartered,
2 Tbsp minced garlic
2 ribs celery, sliced
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
1 can(s) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 can(s) 14.5 ounces; diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can(s) 15.25 ounces corn, drained
4 c chicken broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Place cut sausage, potatoes and vegetables into crock pot.
2. Combine chicken broth, dry onion soup mix, and cream of mushroom soup. Mix well to combine all ingredients.(What I did was stir together the mushroom and dry onion soup using just about 1/2 of the chicken broth to dissolve the dry soup base and thin out the mushroom soup and then added the remaining chicken broth) Pour over vegetables and sausage in crock pot.
3. Cook on Low for 6-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours. **OPTIONAL: approx 5 minutes before serving you may stir in 1/2 cup sour cream.
