Ingredients

1 pound (4 sticks) butter

4 pounds alligator sausage

1 1/2 cups minced garlic

4 pounds boneless chicken thighs

1 1/2 cups Creole seasoning

4 yellow onions, chopped

8 cups chicken stock

20 cups converted rice

2 cups tomato sauce

4 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped 

2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped 

1 bunch celery, chopped

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a 20-quart cast-iron pot over high heat. Cook until browned but not burned.
