Super easy, very flavorful. Used hot Italian turkey sausage instead of kielbasa. Added a little Cajun seasoning. Came together in less than an hour including prep. Added some celery since I didn't have 3 colors of bell pepper on hand.

Have been making this for about 10 years and I can not go to a tailgate without it-always requested /demanded :). I simplified and instead of using partial amounts of items I go all in! I use a full pkg of hot italian sausage (casings removed, cut up) one bell pepper of each color, 1 onion, 1-2 ckn breasts, 1 lb peeled/deveind shripm, etc. Usually make ahead and re-heat before heading to the game. Everyone LOVES it!! My BF even puts eggs on it and eats it for breakfast!
