When I think of great recipes to tailgate with, I think about one pot meals. Many times when you are tailgating you have limited access to cooking utensils like burners.  This dish can be made in one pot and it makes enough to feed a crowd. The secret ingredient is the Eckrich Smoked Sausage. Eckrich Smoked Sausage is naturally hardwood smoked and crafted with just the right blend of spices for a truly rich, savory taste. Paired with a nice cold glass of the drink fans crave, Dr Pepper, and you have the perfect complement to tailgating and homegating events during the college football season. You can find Eckrich Smoked Sausage on the packaged meat aisle and Dr Pepper on the soda aisle at Meijer.
