Using a sharp knife, cut the sausages into quarters, lengthwise. You should have sixteen- 4”5” long, narrow pieces.

In a small sauté pan, melt the bacon fat over medium heat. Cook the onions, peppers, and celery for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and Creole seasoning and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Remove from the heat and cool this mixture.
