I was pleasantly surprised how good this came out. I did everything by the recipe, but just approximated the sausage (whatever brand I had around), and added a little extra rice and a whole can of chicken broth. Because the okra was fresh, i cooked everything a little bit before i added the rice. I really think you can't mess this one up. Will definitely make again.

This was VERY good, and very easy to make. I didn't have okra or celery, so just left it out. I used organic chicken sausage and brown rice also. My husband loved it!

This dish was really good! I made a couple of simple changes to suit my family's taste. -I used turkey sausage to cut down the fat and calories. You can get italian turkey sausage at most stores. -I added 2 cups of rice instead of 1/2 cup and doubled the amount of broth. -I didn't put any okra in. -I tripled the amount of hotsauce and used a tsp of crushed chilis too It turned out great, a full meal and nice and spicy like we like.

this was very goood, I added two cloves of minced garlic, I used about a cup instead of 1/2 a cup of onion and celery, and I soaked the rice in the chicken broth while I browned the sausage. I used cayenne pepper instead of hot sauce (simply because I didn't have hot sauce) and my husband and I both mowed it down. Very very good indeed, I will definitely be making this again. I recommend it for a quick filling meal.

I didn't have the okra or celery, so I added some chopped bell pepper instead. I made it with brown rice (which took longer to cook than the white, I believe, so it was a little al dente) and I used turkey Italian sausage (making it the most healthy I could). I liked this recipe and will make it again, and next time I will soak the brown rice before adding it to the pan so it will be a little softer. Very tasty!
