• Brown and crumble sausage in a large skillet. When sausage is about half cooked, add onion, celery and red pepper flakes then continue cooking until sausage is no longer pink and veggies are starting to become translucent. If your sausage is particularly fatty, drain off some of the fat – I usually don't.
