Heads and shoulders above the canned stuff and very easy to make.

i usually eat this as a “soup”, but you can also put it over rice, or just use the cooked sweet potatoes as a side dish (saving the coconut milk/curry combo to cook rice in, or cook another curry).

If you are making a HUGE pot….hot Italian sausage (Kroger brand is just as good as Johnson Brothers)
If you want to tone down the spiciness, use half hot Italian and half mild Italian sausage, ground beef or ground chicken.
