As it says it was easy. I really liked it. Did add more garlic but I like garlic. Could not understand why anyone would leave out the tomatoes. Since I live alone I used 1/2 the kiebasa and one can of beans. Give it a try.

Had this for supper last night, and it was wonderful! The flavors were absolutely delicious! I made this with Polish Kilbasa, but will try this again using Turkey, hopefully the flavors will be the same, if not, I'll eat it and enjoy it the fattening way!!!!

We did enjoy this recipe but as others said, it was not the normal spanish beans & rice. But it is very good when you don't know how to make the "real" thing. I kept most of the recipe the same, just changed a couple things. We did turkey kielbasa & used 3 garlic cloves, added a dash of cayenne pepper along with garlic salt & fresh cilantro. My friend who makes the "real" thing uses cilantro & I think that is what made this recipe have the yummy taste it did, next time I will use even more. I used diced tomatoes with oregano & garlic in the can. My 10 year old loved it..my 7 year old didn't like it, he ended up having a PB sandwich!

This is awesome!!! I wasn't sure if my family would like this, and they loved it! It is going to become a staple in my family! I only made a couple changes. I omitted the tomatoes, and added maybe an 1/8 to 1/4 Texas Pete hot sauce, also added several generous dashes of a store bought Cajun seasoning mix. It was spicy! But so good! If you want to add a little more color, (as I did) add yellow peppers instead of green, it looks nice. Thanks for the recipe!!!

I didn't bother with the tomatoes. This recipe isn't bad, and it's really easy, but it is a little bland. I added a lot of hot sauce and garlic.

This was great with the addition of a little cayenne pepper and some celery. I have had traditional red beans and rice, and while this is not the same, it is still really, really good for what it is. Just add some additional spices if you like it spicy! Even my boy loved it, although he has seen me eat red beans and rice at cajun restaurants and declared it looked "disgusting."

This was a fairly good and easy meal. I only used 1 can of beans and that was perfect for us.

Great, has the LA look and taste. I was a little heavy with the garlic, oregano, and pepper but otherwise followed recipe exactly.

I recommend that you use a little olive oil (1 tbs). This recipe in my opinion does not need tomatoes and green peppers. Let rice and beans be rice and beans.

I used crumbled spicy sausage instead of the kielbasa and added diced tomatoes with chiles. Both gave it a good flavor. My family loved it and it was great heated up for lunch.

This is a nice change from what I usually make for dinner. My little girls love beans, so it wasn't hard to convince them to eat it.

This recipe is pretty darned good as is—I make it regularly. The only note I would add is that it needs a LOT of salt and pepper. I usually season, taste, season, taste, and so on . . . many times.

I can agree this was an easy recipe.I followed the recipe. But it lacked something.I just didnt taste like the red beans and rice with sausage I am used to.So I rated it a 4 instead of five.Maybe I will change the type of sausage next time and see how it comes out.

An incredibly easy to follow and came out so GOOD! I used chipotle seasoned kielbasa, a purple pepper (that's what I had on hand), salsa instead of the canned tomatoes, and cajun seasoning -- all recommendations from a previous poster and what a great result - see my picture! It took me no time to prepare and it was a hit. This is an easy dish that will have everyone thinking you worked far harder on it than you actually did. Thanks for a great recipe.

Good but bland. I added a couple shakes of Creole seasoning, but it still wasn't flavorful enough for me. I think something is lost in the "Easy."

Best beans ever. I only had dry beans so thats what I used. Skipped bell pepper since I didn't have it. Had diced tomatoes with chilli peppers instead of whole so I used them. I also added cajun seasoning, 1tsp cumin, and 8 sliced jalepenos. Spicy but even my kids liked them.

I liked this. It might not be "authentic" (I have no idea), but it sure was tasty! I only used one can of beans, 1/2 an onion and I used chicken sausage, because that is what I had. I added some extra garlic, too. I combined it with the rice before serving - it was a really filling, satisfying meal. Served it with Jalapeno Corn Bread.
