For a richer flavor, consider using a dark beer like a stout or porter. Adjust the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have Italian sausage, you can use any ground sausage, but the Italian seasoning adds a unique flavor profile. Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or avocado.
