Delicious! Make sure you use a heavy dutch oven 5-7 quart pot (my preference is a heavy Magnalite pot with tight-fitting lid)

- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic

- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tblsp sugar
- 1 tblsp. Cajun seasoning

- In a large dutch oven, heat oil on medium heat onion and sauté until wilted.
- Add garlic.
- Add sliced Savoie's® Sausage and cook for an additional 10 minutes or so until edges of sausage are brown.
