How-to-Make Sausage and Bean Soup

Slow cooker sausage and bean soup is easy to make and is perfect for to serve to a crowd or when you just want to bundle up and stay home.

This one has an indulgent, one of a kind flavor and depth of richness because of a secret ingredient in the sauce, Dr. Pepper which I also use to make my family's favorite fall off the bone crockpot ribs.

Add the savory flavor of Smoked Sausage and you have a winner!
