Notes

Be sure to check Variations, Expert Tips, and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe

Note 1: While this is a low-carb recipe, if you follow a Keto-diet, be sure to use sugar-free andouille sausage. Some sausages have the addition of sugar in them.

Note 2: Start with 1 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed. While I make homemade seasonings often, I always have Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning in our spice rack. Highly recommend this spice if you don't want to make your own.
