Personal Notes:
This is a hearty and spicy Cajun recipe with a few Italian twists and turns. I cooked this for Tim Rivers during one of his visits to our Georgia home in Dacula and he especially liked the hot and spicy sausage. You can tailor the spices to your liking and double up the recipe for a larger group.
