Variations & Tips
If you’re looking to lighten this dish up, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream, or even use a milk alternative like almond milk for a less rich version. Additionally, any type of smoked sausage can be used, or you can swap it for chicken sausage if you prefer. For a bit of a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes in while cooking the sausage.
