Sausage and Cheese Chowder

1 pound smoked sausage, cut into half-inch slices
4 cups frozen O’Brien or Southern style cubed hash brown potatoes, slightly thawed
1 tablespoon dried minced onion

2 cans (10.75 ounces) cream of celery soup
Dash hot sauce
1 box (16 ounces) processed cheese, cut into cubes
3 to 4 cups milk
Splash of beer (We like beer in just about everything in Wisconsin!)
Shredded Wisconsin sharp Cheddar cheese
Chopped scallions

Place the first 6 ingredients in a slow cooker.
Add 3 cups of milk and the processed cheese cubes.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring often.
Add a splash (or more) of beer and more milk if it gets too thick.
Stir well.
Keep on warm setting until ready to serve.
Top with shredded Cheddar cheese and scallions.You can also make this on the stovetop instead of in a slow cooker.
