Instructions
- Combine all of the cajun seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and set to the side.
- In a dutch oven or large pot over medium high heat, add the olive oil and ground beef. Break up and sauté until browned (about 8 minutes), then transfer to a bowl. In the same pot, add the sausage and cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to the same bowl with the beef.
