Ingredients:
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into ½ inch slices
4 cups frozen O’Brien or Southern style cubed hash brown potatoes, slightly thawed
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 can (14.5 ounces) French style green beans, drained
2 cans (10.75 ounces) cream of celery soup
Dash hot sauce
1 box (16 ounces) processed cheese, cut into cubes
3 to 4 cups milk
Splash of beer (We like beer in just about everything in Wisconsin!)
Shredded Wisconsin sharp cheddar cheese
Chopped scallions
Directions:
Place the first 6 ingredients in a slow cooker. Next add 3 cups of milk and the processed cheese cubes. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring often. Add a splash (or more) of beer and more milk if needed. Stir well. Keep on warm setting until ready. Serve hot with shredded cheddar cheese and scallions on top. You can also make this on the stove if you don’t have a slow cooker.
Thanks Chuck! -Amy
Please forgive the lateness of this review–I made this chowder
a couple of weeks ago after seeing you prepare it on WGN-TV in late January. In just one word, it was WONDERFUL! I served it on a cold Sunday night with some hearty bread and only had a little bit of the chowder left over which I hoarded for lunch the next day. I’ve seen at least three or four more of your soup recipes since then that I will have to try! Keep up the good work and I’ll be watching you on March 20 here in Chicago!
I/we love your recipes but I also wish you would include serving size. It’s very hard to calculate the nutritional information per serving when you don’t have that information.
How many is this supposed to serve? I love the soup but am concerned about the calories. It was yummy even using “lite” everything I could. Is a serving one cup? I don’t remember how many ounces it made. Guess I could add it up. Does anyone know how many it should serve?
What kind of sausage do you use? Would like to make it for Super Bowl
Hi Kathy, I use 1 pound link of smoked sausage, and dice it up. Like Kielbasa. Enjoy! Let me know how you like it! Thanks! -Amy
Can’t wait to try this today, having guests over for the Rose Bowl, Also LOVE that you like Pampered Chef, I noticed quite a few pieces in your video! Keep on Cookin!
The receipe sounds great Amy, can’t wait to try it. I bought a cookbook for my sister-in-law on Friday who is visting from Florida. She saw my cookbook and wanted to have one for herself to take home. Keep up the good work.
Can always use more recipes for the slow cooker. Plus, almost anything with cheese is popular in our house. Sounds very good.
Amy is the best!
You rock! Love the book and many recipes. Keep it up!
Thanks Beckie!
