  • 3 cups (710ml) milk
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
  • shredded cheddar and green onion for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot or dutch oven, saute the sausage, onion, and celery over medium heat until the onion starts to soften. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
