For a richer flavor, consider using smoked paprika in addition to Italian seasoning. Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, such as Andouille for a spicier kick. If you don't have stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with a pinch of sugar can be substituted. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
