Good flavor. I changed a few things though. I only used smoked sausage (Hillshire farm hot smoked sausage). I thought about andouile, which I may try next time. I left out the celery and used red instead of green pepper, because in my opinion green peppers have no flavor. I used rotell mild diced tomatoes and bush's chili beans. Also substituted the chicken broth with 3/4 cup Sam Adam's Black Lager. I just like cooking with beer. :)

This is great,I will definitely make it again. It was so easy to make. I had leftover ham and polish sausage and it was a great way of using it up. Thanks for a great recipe.

Made with 9 oz of sausage and pinto beans, doubled the peppers and omitted the celery. This wasn't too bad but not the best either.

So yummy! I've made this several times to the letter and it is always a crowd-pleaser. Today I tried it with chicken and shrimp, instead of ham or sausage, with only one can of Ranch-style beans and it was great!

Excellent! Easy recipe to make with a few substitutions just based on personal flavor. Just used water in place of chicken broth. Used 1 can of ranch style beans and 1 can of low sodium black beans. I did add in a Tablespoon of chilipowder for just a bit extra kick. My three year old loved it. Thank you to Petra for sharing the dish!! 100% better than the out of the box dish.

Yummy! I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, so i skipped the green pepper and used carrots instead, no sausage, used double ham. Used regular diced tomatoes and added lousinanna hot sauce for heat. Also used pepper, majoram, and basil. Easy and tasty!

very hearty & tasty ~ I used 1 each, hot, mild & plain diced tomatoes. didn't have any green pepper or celery or smoked sausage. I used chorizo & browned it first. This had wonderful flavor definitely a keeper.

We loved it! Used brown rice (healthy!). Found that pouring in tomatoes with liquid from the can resulted in a lot of liquid in the recipe. Liquid never really absorbed. Next time, might drain can (of tomatoes) first.
