Notes/Quick Tips:

• You can use regular pork Italian sausage but make sure it’s not too greasy. If there is a lot of grease, you’ll need to drain it before adding the rest of the items. You might need to add some salt and pepper- taste first before adding.

• Enjoy with some nice buttered crispy bread slices.
