Step 1

Heat the slow cooker on the high setting.

Step 2

To the slow cooker, add the sausage, beef stock, beer, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and pepper. Cook on high for 4 hours.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream, cream cheese and cheddar cheese.  Stir until there are no longer any clumps of cream cheese. Using a whisk will help this process along.  Taste to see if more salt and pepper is desired. Cook for an additional 2 hours.
