Ok I made the Chicken Bog this week based on your current weekly menu. I think I messed up the sausage. Is smoked sausage more dried and hard? I got fresh sausage from my sausage dude because I was all excited to use our local sausage. It's fennel sausage. It's really tasty normally, but in this bog I think it got a little bland. I cooked it ahead of time in the butter because it seemed weird to boil the sausage, but now it makes more sense if the sausage was hard!

I also used brown rice instead of white rice. It took about 40-50 min to cook. I'm not sure if that was because I had the heat too low or if it was because it was brown rice.

The end result is great, really hearty and filling, but I am definitely missing a flavor. I think it's the smokiness of the sausage. It also feels like an acid is needed- perhaps tomato?

I will definitely make it again, but maybe with some tweaks! Please let me know if smoked sausage is supposed to be dried/cured like pepperoni.

So glad to see this recipe. Matt talked to Andre about the recipe, to see if I could eat it, with my fun allergies. He has not stopped talking about Chicken Bog, since then. I sent him a link to this post. I hope he feels like cooking this weekend.

High Value Yum!

I’m right with you, Heather. I started singing with the title of the post, before I even got to your first line. CLASSIC!!

Hmmm, I wonder how many WW points this recipe has? KIDDING… My manager’s daughter just had a baby yesterday, so I’ll be hitting the grocery tomorrow to fix this for her. I might reserve a serving or two for us =)
