  1. I've made this a number of times and it is excellent. You have to be careful with the seasonings depending on what kind of hot sausage you use. I usually use Louisiana hot links or andouille which are spicy and not too hot. I made it once with a brand of hot links I was not familiar with and they made it way hot, which I liked, but a lot of people I served it to couldn't stand the heat and put potatoes in it to kill the heat.
     
  2. I liked this recipe enough to add it to my Chili Collection Cookbook. Again you do not state how much of the creole seasoning to add. I used chorizo for the hot sausage as that is what I had on hand. The burgundy wine made this nice ( I normally use beer in mine ). I did find I had to add more liquid ( wine ) as the simmering times made the chili to dry and it started to stick to the pot, but that could just be a difference between stoves.<br/>Nice recipe!
