I made a few changes to the recipe. I used hot Italian turkey sausage instead of pork. For all of the beans, I bought reduced sodium versions. Instead of the beer, I used beef broth. Because I couldn't find the diced tomatoes with onions, I upped the fresh onion to a medium sized one.
I love this one because you can make it early in the day, pop it in the slow cooker and not have to miss any of the game. While it's great by itself, it also would make awesome nachos, or poured on top of a baked potato or a nice grilled hot dog. I was very happy with the heat level, but you can easily dial it up or down.
My husband took a test batch to a work potluck and it was gone in less than 30 mins. Thank you so much to Chris N. for sharing his amazing recipe. Be sure to go and check out what #footballfood the other #FestiveFoodies are serving up by using the links down below!
