The flavor of this turned out good. I doubled the recipe and used half hot sausage (we had hot sausage in the freezer and I was afraid to use it by itself; hence, the doubling). I was disappointed that the consistency was more like a soup. My husband wouldn't even try eating it because it is the middle of the summer here and he won't eat soup in summer. If I did make this again, I might halve the liquid. I also forgot to use all of the green peppers. (Should have been 4 for my doubled recipe, but I found 2 of them in the fridge a couple of days later. Oops.)
