"This is a hearty stew of white beans, chicken and sausage. This recipe was developed for a 3 quart crock pot. If you use a larger one, you will need to double the ingredients. Serve with cornbread, green onion fans and a side salad."

You had me up to the "chicken sausage" . Recent mega-studies combining previous studies on diet and cholesterol show little if any direct relationship between dietary and blood cholesterol. No call for fake sausage.

Wow, this was wonderful. I wasn't able to get smoked sausages, so used fresh herb & garlic chicken sausages. I used a full can of tomato puree instead of juice. Other than that I followed the recipe. It was easy to put together at 5am & the aroma when we walked in the door was fabulous. Served with crackers. Thanks Paula for this keeper.

I made this in my 6 qt. crock pot, but since there is only me - it was fine. I used Kielbasa and Chicken breasts - because that is what I had on hand. Really, really good. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely make it this winter.

I doubled the carrots and used all the smoked turkey sausage that came in the package. I'm sure it was more than 8 oz. but not sure it was 1 lb. I also doubled the chicken thighs so the entire top of the veggie/sausage layer was covered w/ thighs. I wasnted enough for 5-6 servings. I kept the beans and V-8 juice and the other ingredients the same. Turned out very nicely.

I have a 6 quart crock pot so I doubled the recipe and shared with my family. I used V8 juice, 2 chicken breasts instead of thighs, and Eckrich smoked sausage because I could not find smoked turkey or chicken sausage. This was so good and perfect for the cold weather we are having. Served with sourdough bread and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Thank you Paula for sharing! Made and reviewed for the Zaar Stars Tag Game.

This was really good. I used one large boneless skinless chicken breast instead of thighs and with the sausage, that was plenty of meat for us. I also added a little salt, but think it would be fine without. Even though the weather is starting to get warm, I will definitely make this again. I love that it cooks all day while I have fun.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
