Really liked this recipe! Took advice from others and added some spice--1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp chile powder, and 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper. I also used red pepper instead of green. What I loved about this recipe was that it was so fast to throw together.

I felt there weren't enough beans compared to the sausage, the rice servings are skimpy, and it definitely needed some sort of flavor boost. I would throw some minced garlic in with the onion and pepper saute, and also add some Cajun or Creole seasoning for next time. Smoked sausage is great, but it doesn't provide enough flavor to carry the whole dish on its own.

Good! For my tweaks I cooked the rice in the broth from a can of French Onion Soup, reserving the onions to add into the dish later. I used the broth from the soup mixed with water to come up to the quantity needed to cook the rice. Also added some bannana peppers for a little zing.

Amazing and easy! I used Eckrich beef smoked sausage, two cans of beans (one red kidney and one pinto since that's what I had on hand) and instead of the tomatoes and bell pepper I used one can of mild Rotel. Added Chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic, and a dash of cumin. Wonderful! Will definitely be making this one again.

This was AWESOME! Here are the changes I made: 1) Used 1 T unsalted butter & 1 T evoo 2) Omitted onion & used whole bell pepper diced finely. 3) 3 cans of beans instead of 1 (next time I will try using a whole bag of dried beans which would be equivalent to 4 cans beans. It would stretch it & make it a more thrifty meal in general.) 4) added 8 oz can No Salt Added Tomato sauce 5) Used the "onion, celery, pepper" version of diced tomatoes. This was even better the 2nd day after mixing in the rice & letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight. Will definitely make again, thank you! =)

This was so delicious!! The best chili recipe I have ever tried. My husband added a little hot sauce and worchestershire sauce to add a little kick to it!! Thanks for sharing.
