Make a Big Pot of Sausage Bean Chowder and Share with Your Neighbors!
Have a soup night drop in! Make 3-4 kinds of soups and chowders and invite the neighbors to drop by for a bowl of soup. My friend, Tammy, does this on Christmas Eve. Great to have plenty of hot food ready for all to enjoy!
PS - This is even better as a left-over! So make the day before you plan to serve!

Serving Suggestions
Serve sausage bean chowder with hot cornbread on a cold winter day!Tip: Add a pinch of sugar to your cornbread mix for crunchy crust!
And use a seasoned iron skillet for the cornbread for best results!
Put leftovers in the freezer for a day when you are too tired to cook! It will taste even better then. Imagine coming home in the cold, rainy or snowy, weather, and reaching in the freezer for a pot of sausage bean chowder. It will take only minutes to get it piping hot! It will warm you through and through!
Double It!
If you have more than 2 people in your family, double this recipe! In fact, double it anyway and share with a neighbor! It won't last long!

- I always need new soup recipes since it's the staple of our diet in the winter months. Of course, my husband will have to cook it since it has more than 4 ingredients! Anything that can be doubled and frozen and still taste great is a 10 in my book.

- Just got here from your Congo Squares lens.
I love soups and chowders and chili in the fall and winter. This sounds amazing. I just added it to my Squidoo Recipes folder in my computer favorites. There are so many awesome recipes here on squidoo.

- And I thought you couldn't cook. :-) I am sooo ready for soup weather! This recipe sounds awesome. I love that you put the green pepper in at the end. My brain knows exactly what that smells like and is telling my taste buds to tell me, "Fix this - soon!"
