Very flavorful and easy. I omitted the green chilis since I used hot style sausage. I added 3 stalks of celery and hald a red pepper (items I had on hand) and juts one can of pinto beans. I served it with a packet of red beans and rice mix. Wonderful week night dinner!

This is great! I have been making it for a few years now, and I only use 1 can of beans(I don't bother rinsing/draining them) and I use 1 large can of diced tomatoes with green chilies in place of the 2 cans of tomatoes. I also leave out the cayenne so it's not too hot for my little ones. Great with rice or fried potatoes!

This is on of our all-time favorite recipes! We make it at least once a month. We have found that if we double the meat (2 lbs. of sausage) we can get two meals out of one recipe. We also reduce the beans by one can. Two cans seems to be plenty.

Wonderful flavor. Used the rotel tomatoes as another reviewer suggested. It was really a nice quick meal. Thanks.

Yum! I kept in mind the advice of others and toned down the heat a little. I used andouille sausage and sautéed one jalapeno along with the green pepper instead of adding the chili peppers at the end. I also used fresh parsley, smoked paprika, one tsp chili powder instead of cayenne and one tsp black pepper instead of one tbsp. I also used fresh tomatoes from the garden.

This is fantastic! My husband and I agree that this is one of the best recipes I have found. Great with crusty french "take and bake" bread.

yummy; I will throw away all those other red bean 'n rice recipes. I used chili powder rather than fresh chilis. Watch the heat and adjust to your likin'.

i love this recipe. my family loves it. it's one of those i send to friends b/c it's so good. sometimes i get sick of chicken.... i make it as is, excepting the few changes for personal taste. no bell pepper, and less cayenne, less chiles. i always use polish kielbasa instead of sausage b/c i can. i even tried it with the low-fat p.kielbasa a couple days ago and couldn't tell a bit. delicious served over rice.

This was very tasty. My husband really enjoyed this. He likes spicy foods and I'm not quite as fond of spicy, however this recipe was just about perfect. This will be a repeat meal.

I liked the consistency and flavor of this dish, but I must confess that this was too spicy for my husband and me. My children, however, ages 16, 19 & 25 couldn't get enough of it. They loved it. I, too, served it with rice and corn bread. Very enjoyable. Thank you!

Excellent. I prefer it with half the amount of sausage and about 3-4 times the amount of vegetables. I use canned chopped green chiles in place of the fresh chiles to save time.

I used about half of the kidney beans and less of the spices but this still was a little too spicy for me. My husband liked it more. It's good served with rice or a baked potato.

Definitely worth 5 stars! I cut the recipe in half and made just a few changes. I used two teaspoons of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning in place of the spices listed and a can of Rotel tomatoes rather than using separate cans of tomatoes and chiles. I also stirred in approx. 2 cups of cooked brown rice. It smelled heavenly while simmering on the stove.

Wow, if you can't handle the heat, modify it. I loved it but (for the first time in my life) had to drink a glass of milk with it. Nevertheless, I couldn't stop eating it. Thanks for a great dinner!

Wow!!! Great meal! My husband and I go to New Orleans several times a year and he has been telling everyone this is the best he has ever had. I used 2 cans of chunky rotel tomatoes and it was the perfect heat for us. Can't wait to make it again.
