New Orleans Creole Butter Smoked Sausage Kolaches
New Orleans Creole Butter Smoked Sausage Kolaches are my latest game day tailgating football appetizer obsession. Delicious smoked sausage rolled in creole butter and wrapped in a puff pastry blanket filled fresh jalapeno peppers, shredded cheese, and a flavorful cream cheese spread. A quick and easy hors d'oeuvre with classic Creole flavor that's seasoned with Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. An adult version of pigs in a blanket with unique flavor originating in Louisiana.
