Very good. Warm and Filling.. My changes while cooking: whole green and red pepper, 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes, 1 can medium rotel, medium taco seasoning, + 1 can pinto beans (only because I don't care for sausage) Served with sour cream, cheddar, and pepperjack. The only reason we didn't give this a 5 star rating is that the rice was over cooked. I will probably reduce cooking time to 2 or 3 hours next time so rice maintains some of its' texture.

Great dish. I cut the portion to half the size and substituted half a Chicken for the Sausage but the flavor was all there. Great dish, I'll be making it again.

My husband ate this all on his own (between dinner and work lunch the next day). BIG hit, will make again!

I'm an experienced cook, and this was a rare disaster. I used fresh jalapenos instead of canned peppers, browned the kielbasa, and softened the onion and bell peppers before adding them to the pot. I then set the slow-cooker on low. . . and 4 1/2 hours later, I have a pile of absolute mush. The flavors are very nice indeed, but the result of this recipe was an inedible mass of starchy glop. I'm going to have to fish out the kielbasa and figure out another way to serve it. If you think the recipe sounds good, by all means go for it. . . but watch your cooker like a hawk, and start checking at three hours.

This recipe is so easy to make and the flavors blend well together. I cook it in the crockpot as indicated and I put them on tortilla's and make wraps. Awesome!

A great recipe to come home to after a long day. The fresh bell peppers really set the dish off for us and give the dish some firmer texture than the canned tomatoes, I doubled the amounts for both red and green and would not have enjoyed the dish as much if I used only 1/2 of each. I also thought the amount of sausage was a little low. If I make this as a side I may omit it entirely, but for a meal I'll use a pound and a half. I also used instant rice: added at the end of cooking, then turned the crockpot off and mixed a couple times until it absorbed enough juice and the grains tasted done. The neighbors mouths were watering from the scent - thanks for such a fresh and flavorful slow cooker dish :).

Thought it needed something, but not sure what. I chose mild salsa and taco flavoring, so maybe I'll increase to medium or hot. Definitely will try it again, though.

The flavor was good but the rice was very mushy. I cooked it for 5 hours on low.

My Family a I loved this one, even my 9 year old went back for third helpings. I cooked on low for 5 hours. Used smoked beef kielbasa and medium salsa, and roasted chili peppers (in the can). I added shredded cheese on top of mine at the table with some sour cream and WOW! This is definitely a keeper! Only thing I didn't like was the onions remained crunchy (the bell peppers did cook okay). Next time I will either microwave onions to soften or saute (depending on time).
