WHITE BEAN SAUSAGE CHILI — Pork sausage and white beans in a seasoned broth, finished off with both cream and sour cream for a delicious, hearty chili the whole family will love.


White Bean Sausage Chili

Our family recently attended a church potluck, and when I tried this White Bean Sausage Chili, I knew I had to find out who brought it and get their recipe.

Luckily, I was able to track down the person who brought this delicious chili to our church function and she was happy to share her recipe.

Excellent chili! I would give it ten stars! ~ Erma

She says it’s a favorite family recipe, and I can see why. It’s becoming a family favorite at our house too!

And like so many recipes you’ll come across at church potlucks, it’s a simple but flavorful dish that’s budget friendly and easy to prepare. What’s not to love about that?

This chili has a hint of spice from the green chilies and cayenne, and it’s just the perfect amount. I definitely recommend looking for the mild pork sausage.

If not, ground beef is a great substitute. In fact, when I first tried this chili, I thought it was made with ground beef, and I loved it!

I didn’t realize it was ground pork until I got the recipe from my friend. I’m a big fan of spicy sausage, but for this recipe, the mild stuff really does work better.

Sooo good!  I kicked up the heat a bit with jalapenos and some hot chili powder. Great for a cool day!  So delish! ~ Janet

If you want to lighten things up, you can certainly use light sour cream, and half and half rather than heavy cream. It’s not a super thick chili, so those substitutions will be fine.

I like to finish this off with a sprinkling of fresh parsley or cilantro. And my boys like to stir in a big handful of cheese. However you serve it, this chili is sure to become a favorite in your family too!

    This recipe is fantastic, however it is more like a soup and not a chili. But turned out great!

  • This is delicious! Made a few substitutions with what I had on hand: used one can of green chilies and a teaspoon of minced hot sweet jalapeños from Trader Joe’s; used 1/3 c sour cream and a couple ounces of cream cheese; and used chicken sausage. Delicious! My husband raved about it~ going to add to my permanent recipe rotation.

  • Sarah Clarke

    Can this recipe be made in a slow cooker?

  • Terri L Clark

    I made this chili, and it was truly delicious.
    However, It made more chili than I have people, had a lot of left overs.
    Can it be frozen?

  • This soup was so good! I made it as written and will make it again.

  • cindeelou

    I may have already told you this BUT this is sooooooo good. Our new favorite!

  • OMG sooo good! I kicked up the heat a bit with jalepenos and some hot chili powder. Great for cool day! I also substituted Greek yogurt amd ghee for the sour cream and heavy cream. So delish!

  • Excellent chili! I would give it a Ten stars!
