This dish was mediocre in my opinion. It felt like it lacked a certain element, and I believe it had to do with the texture. It reminded me of mashed potatoes with some extra ingredients. It was flavorful, but not something I would intentionally cook again. I made a slight alteration by browning the sausage for added texture and used apple cinnamon tea with a dash of maple syrup since I couldn't find maple-flavored tea.
