Notes
Opt for Different Sausage Varieties: Use varieties like chorizo, Andouille, smoked sausage, or even some leftover breakfast sausages.
Introduce New Flavors: Experiment with seasonings by adding a teaspoon of paprika or half a teaspoon of Old Bay to enhance the dish's complexity.
Incorporate Vegetables: Boost the heartiness by mixing in sautéed mushrooms, baby spinach, cabbage, or peas.
Create a Jambalaya Twist: Add grilled shrimp and half to one teaspoon of Cajun seasoning for a Jambalaya-inspired variation.
Choosing Rice: You can use any quick-cooking rice. Note that quick-cooking rice is recommended because this recipe, as written, is not suitable for traditional rice.
