If you have ever been to Louisiana or heard of cag'n cooking you have heard of this dish. My mom's brother lived in Slidell for some years. I am guessing she may have gotten this recipe from her sister-in-law. My Uncle Bill and his wife Aunt Hank (Henrietta) had six children but lost one from Meningitis due to the hurricane Camille. Junie was two years old .
It's and easy one pan dish but this version is not hot enough. The next time I make it I will add some green chilies or some hot sauce. When I made it I used smoked sausage and not ham, I have also seen it made with chorizo which is a spicy sausage from New Orleans. This recipe I dedicate to my Uncle Bill and his family.
