Notes

Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. For extra flavor, try soaking the smoked sausage in beer or broth before cooking. Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce during cooking for a deeper flavor. Ensure the vegetables are cut uniformly for even cooking. Consider serving this dish over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
