This is a good recipe, even after I screwed it up a bit. I used WAY more than 2 dashes of hot sauce (this was a good idea). I also added a little water because the liquid level seemed really low (this was a bad idea). Everything was cooked through, but just had a little less bite than I expected (my fault for adding water). Still, this recipe was saved with more seasoning and hot sauce, but I know next time I make it, it's going to have that kick! Sausage is the best part (I added it in the slow cooker instead of the rice, because it smelled so good. I wanted that flavor in with the rest of the ingredients)! Will definitely cook again.
