Ingredients

  • 6 ounces sliced bacon
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet onions, peeled and chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons celery salt
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

Directions

  2. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
