What I love about Cajun & Creole dishes is how flavorful and full of tradition they tend to be. Of course, I'm inclined to be more interested in the food than anything else. The music, parades, costumes, parties and food all contribute to a spectacular holiday celebration. I've never been to New Orleans - bucket list - but from what I've observed, Mardi Gras is a bigger than life celebration.

But when Johnsonville Sausage asked me to create a Mardi Gras inspired dish using their Split Rope Sausages.I decided to toss my rules out the window. Just give me that traditional, cheesy noodle dish on a plate and I'm satisfied. I've always scoffed a little bit at variations that included tomatoes, peas, ham, and the latest trend, butternut squash. I'm a self-proclaimed purist when it comes to mac & cheese.
