I added more chicken than the recipe called for but everyone enjoyed it. My son is always tickled when there is sausage in a dish so it was a win for him! I'm sure we will be having it again.

This is quick, easy and tasty. Added some cayenne pepper, garlic and chopped green pepper (which I needed to use up).
