Instructions:

1. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat and add oil.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it starts browning, stir in the onion, celery, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic.
3. Season It Up: As the mixture starts sizzling, season with Uncle Dibbz King Creole Blend and Delta Dust. Stir well to coat everything in seasoning.

6. Finish & Serve: Remove from heat, discard the bay leaf, and fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.
