Well, this was fantastic! My husband and I don't eat green peppers at all, so we substituted 2 red bell peppers instead. And they didn't have any andouille sausage here in the UK that we could find, so went for a Polish sausage. We also added a ham hock while everything cooked, and then shredded the meat from it, and added okra in the end. Made my grandmother's cornbread and decided to skip the rice and just eat the beans and sausage over that. Delicious!

It was pretty good. We'd make it again, but it wasn't quite what we remembered from our favorite restaurant. I'd add more spices.

I made this exactly step by step as directed, it was very bland. Still looking for an authentic recipe.

I love this recipe and I everyone I make if for loves it! But I made a few minor changes. After soaking my beans, I cooked them in the crock pot for about 5 hours, then I added all the other ingredients UNCOOKED. I just threw them all in and let them cook on low for about 4-5 more hours.Turned out delicious over the white rice. I also used a cheddarwerst sausage. I just use whatever sausage is on sale or that I have on hand. Doesn't seem to matter. I also ALWAYS use Tony Chacheres Creole Seasoning.

I loved this. My husband liked Jumbalaya[sp?] better. I like them both. This is a little simpler tasting. I used a low fat smoked sausage.I also followed the other recipe with covering the beans in water, boiling, cover for an hour. Very good.

I have made this a few times and it is excellent every time! I've used different kinds of sausage (kielbasa, chicken) and I also add some shrimp too. Very good - even my preschooler loves it.

This is a really great red beans and rice recipe. I followed the directions and also followed the advice of others. I added 2 hamhocks and used 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water when cooking the beans. I also made golden sweet corn bread and a peach pie (also from this site) and finally got to use my new rice cooker. Again thanks for a great recipe, my family loved it. Oh and don't forget to pick up a bottle of picka peppa sauce. When you add a few dashes to your bowl it really adds to the flavor.

Flavor was very good. However, for those of us from the North, it would be helpful to know that Andouille is generally smoked in the South. All I could find was some fresh Andouille. The dish was good, but would have been great with more authentic sausage.

This is an awesome recipe. Very authentic. Sometimes we throw a link of sausage in there. I almost always serve it with brown rice.

This is the best! Have always had red beans and rice growing up, and this being my first time to make it, you would think I had been cooking it for years! I followed the seasonings exactly, but I did omit the celery. I also chose not to use ham hock or ground meat, instead used smoked sausage. Just a tip if you don't have all night to soak and want to have it sooner, I got this idea from another recipe: Cover your dried beans with about 2 inches of water. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let them soak for an hour. After doing this just follow the recipe as stated. Will do it the exact same way the next time, just when it gets closer to being done I may add a little water, the finished product didn't have much sauce, but still not complaining. Lots of flavor, too easy to make, and great on the budget! Quit looking for another recipe, cook this one tonight!

I made this last night and let it simmer in the crock pot overnight. Made it almost exactly as written except I had some frozen chicken broth (homemade) that I substituted instead of water and omitted the cayenne (personal preference). DH and I both gave it a 5 star. Only complaint was it was a bit "soupy" but that's ok - we loved it anyway. It did look a lot like the picture posted! I didn't have Andouille so I bought a spicy smoked sausage and it was wonderful. This will become a staple for us!

Great recipe! I used canned beans because I was in a hurry and turkey kielbasa (for health, even though andouille tastes better). Still turned out really great, but a cornbread side is a must! Will definitely make again :o)

NOW THIS IS IT!!! About as authentic as it gets. Though every family from New Orleans has there own little tweek of the recipe this one is very good. Being a New Orleans Native the only thing we do differently in my family is add New Orleans Hot Sausage and a ham hock to the recipe. We also smash the beans just a bit at the end to thicken up the roux. I cook this a-lot in the crock pot on low for 8 hours and it comes out great. The flavors blend well. I also let my beans soak overnight, which helps with the cooking.

I really enjoyed this. I used about 1.5 T of olive oil, just to cut down on the fat. I increased the garlic too. I used 6 cups of chicken broth instead of water, and added about a 1 t. of oregano. I also smashed some beans against the side of the pot like some reviewers suggested. I can't get andouille sausage here, which is a shame because I love it, so I used some some spicy kielbasa. Overall, great recipe.
