I had brought this package of chicken sausage and I was thinking of how I was going to use it in a recipe. So the other day my son came home from school and he said he was hungry. I think all teenage boys stay hungry. I was going to fry the sausage and put in on bread. However I had a different idea. This is how the recipe began. I will add a picture the next time a cook this dish. Enjoy.
