This chowder has all the earmarks of a classic fall/winter meal: hearty, warming, and, well, hot. Why are we serving it to you as spring dawns over the land? Because it is so delicious, so perfect, so hearty, it doesn't matter what season it is. You'll be lapping it up whether there's snow on the ground or birds in the sky. Tip: Make potatoes easier to cut by making a large slice that leaves a flat surface. Place the flat surface on the cutting board and get to dicing!

Meatlovers! If using pulled pork, coarsely chop. Excess pork fat will render while cooking and add flavor. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add pork and 2 Tbsp. water. Stir occasionally, breaking up pork with a spoon, until pork is warmed through, 1-2 minutes. If using Beyond Sausage, crumble sausage into bite-sized pieces. Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add sausage to hot pan and stir often, breaking up with a spoon, until warmed through, 6-8 minutes. Vegetarian sausage will not brown. If using Italian sausage, remove from casing. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and Italian sausage to hot pan. Break into smaller pieces with a spoon until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees , 4-6 minutes.
