For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your preference. Some brands can be quite spicy! Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant. Fresh crawfish tails, if available, will elevate the dish. If using fresh, ensure they are properly cleaned before cooking. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/4 cup of dry white wine to the ground beef mixture while cooking.
