- After 45 Minutes add the frozen corn and cream style corn. Put the lid back on for about 15 minutes.
- Check to see if you need salt or pepper
Notes
I use a good smoked sausage for this recipe . If you have access to an andouille sausage it is a good choice as well.
Other meats can be added to this like Tasso , pork , beef , shrimp or even ham.
I use Tony's Chacheres and it has plenty of salt but if you use a different brand you may need to add salt .
