I made this tonight – it was pretty good…I used fresh portabella mushrooms, I’m not a fan of canned! I did use Rotel “fire roasted” tomato’s & a few drops of Tabasco. I’ve got 4 lunches or dinners left. I used pork Kielbasa they didn’t have beef, if I make again, I’ll try Andoulle (maybe not add the Tabasco️) ☺️

Oh my goodness! I made this today for an afternoon of watching football games with my husband. It is delicious! I used Rotel tomatoes for a little extra kick. We loved it! Thanks for another wonderful recipe!
So glad it was a hit!
This really does smell great cooking. I added about 1/4 of a green bell pepper also and a little creole seasoning since I already had the Trinity stewing in the pot.
Hope you enjoyed this recipe! We love this dish.
