4 slices bacon, roughly chopped
1/4 lb andouille sausage, sliced (or other smoked sausage)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 stalk celery, chopped

Directions

1

In a large saucepan, cook the bacon and sausage.

Drain most of the fat, laving about a tablespoon or so, and add the onion, green pepper, jalapeno, and celery. Cook until tender, stirring frequently.
3

Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes, until thoroughly heated, then serve over white rice (some collard greens on the side is an excellent complement, too!).
