The flavor it in this dish is really great and it’s super versatile. If there is is something you don’t like you can easily leave it out.

    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) ☺️4 stars

  4. 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.
