subheading: THE VOODOO:

¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil

1 lb ground beef (or ground veal, pork or turkey)

1 lb andouille sausage, sliced in 1″ pieces and quartered

1 red onion, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

2 stalks of celery, diced

1 tbsp of crushed garlic

1 cup of a basic beer such as Pabst Blue Ribbon or Budweiser (try not to use an IPA as it can make it bitter)

2 cups of ham or chicken broth (I used 2 tsp of Ham Better Than Bouillon 2 cups of water. Use 3 cups if you don’t wish to use beer)

28 oz can of crushed tomatoes

1.5 tbsp of Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning (or you can use any Cajun/Louisiana-style seasoning)

1 tsp of black pepper

1 tsp of seasoned salt

1 tsp of sugar

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp of Italian seasoning

1 tsp of oregano

10 oz package (about 2 cups) of frozen Okra (optional)

1 lb (1 box) of Cavatappi or Cellentani (the kind that looks like if macaroni and a pig tail had a baby)

6 oz can of tomato paste

The Fromage (that means “cheese” in French) NOTE: This is optional to add but I really feel like it sends it over the top. I also love it as is written below, but you can definitely halve these ingredients if you want the cheese factor a bit less intense. If you leave this step out completely and want some spice, add the optional red pepper flakes and Tabasco above prior to pressure cooking The Fromage (that means “cheese” in French) NOTE: This is optional to add but I really feel like it sends it over the top.
