Kori's Tips

Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes that can be found in our post. Check it out!
VARIATIONS: Make it spicy by adding a favorite hot sauce. Add and cook shrimp with the sausage.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Don't like cajun seasoning? Substitute a salted taco seasoning, creole, lemon pepper, or any favorite. Can't have dairy? Omit sour cream and cheese.
TOP TIPS: Buy pre-cooked sausage from the store so you only have to brown. Some sausage comes raw and will need to cook according to the package instructions.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Top with diced tomatoes and sliced avocado. Also good with a simple green salad or over steamed riced cauliflower.
