Very good and easy -- my kind of dinner. Popped in a video while we had this great no work meal. I only used 1 pound of sausage (sweet) so skipped 1 onion, 1 bell pepper, 1 bay leaf and only used 2 garlic cloves. Thanks for sharing!

I used a lb of sweet and a lb of hot sausage and it was very good. I also stirred it at 6hrs then cooked it for another hr before serving.
