Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut sausage in half lengthwise, then cut into ½“ slices. Heat a 5-6 quart pan over medium-high for 3 minutes. Add sausage, peppers, celery and onion; cook, stirring frequently 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender and sausage is lightly browned.
2. Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 10-12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
•Cook’s Tip: For spicier Creole flavor, use Hillshire Farm® Hot Links™ in place of the smoked sausage
