I love how quick and easy it is to make and that my kids will actually eat it, except for my daughter who thinks it's too spicy. It's one of my new favorite recipes and will be making it often!

Quick, easy, delicious and healthy!
by Tina B 2 months ago
I used half the package of sausage, everything else as stated in the recipe, (I drained and rinsed the beans) and served it over rice. I cooked 2 dry cups of parboiled rice and it served 5 of us with enough for 2 more to enjoy for lunch tomorrow. All but my pickiest eater liked it, and it's going in my "keep" recipe folder. I used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne and it was very lightly spicy. I'll add more next time I make it.

Definitly one of my favorite ways to serve Johnsonville sausages
by BFeagle 7 months ago
I have to leave out the celery for my picky eaters so I chop up the celery leaves to put in instead. Shhhh don't tell! They have alot of celery flavor and cook down to nothing. No Evidence :0)

Perfect blend of smoky flavor and spice
by LoveMari13 7 months ago
This was my first time trying Red Beans and Rice on my own and every recipe I consulted had a preference for both the brand of bean and sausage to use. I didn't want to order any specialty sausage online and I know Johnsonville makes great produces so I chose the Andouille Sausage and my dish turned out great. My daughter who is a very picky eater, especially when it comes to meats loved it!

Lots of Flavor
by Eddiepeddie 7 months ago
I had purchased this sausage and didn't really know what to do with it. I found this recipe on the package and had the ingredients in the pantry so I tried it. My husband and I loved it. It was easy to make, used regular ingredients that most people would have in their pantry and had a ton of flavor. I did only use 1/2 of the red pepper that it called for and it was plenty spicy. I will purchase this sausage again and make this recipe again.

This recipe is very good. It has quite a bit of spice to it due to the tablespoon of cayenne pepper, but it tastes great if you can handle the heat.

Cheap, easy and enough to feed an army
by IceBergTYS 8 months ago
I'll cook this when I don't have a lot of time to stand around in the kitchen. Once your ingredients are in the pot, you just set the heat to a low simmer it that's pretty much it! Not much else could be easier for a great home-cooked meal. There are hundreds of different variations on this recipe; you're only limited to your imagination. Occasionally, I'll add some fresh jalepenos and bell peppers to the mix to kick it up a notch. You could easily add in some shrimp to jazz it up even more. Substitute brown rice and it's healther for people trying to prevent diabetes and those trying to add more dietary fiber to their diet. You can't go wrong for a quick evening meal.

I like to cook one dish meals that are fun, easy, fresh and as good to eat as they are for you. The sausage is what makes this dish stand out. I've had every brand of sausage before, but none have the flavor of Johnsonville. Don't take my word for it, make your own.

We LOVED this!!
by Wendy 8 months ago
I did change things up a bit. I used bag of frozen cajun veggies (to avoid the time spent to chop the onions, peppers and celery) and used dark red kidney beans. At the table, I garnished with some shredded cheddar and chopped onions. Add hot sauce to taste and this was hands down the quickest, best tasting dinner! A keeper, for sure.

Great Gluten Free Recipe. :)
by Jbonow1231 8 months ago
Only a year into a gluten sensitivity diagnosis, I still struggle to come up with dinner plans to replace all of the "glutened" meals I previously cooked. In honesty, I generally shy away from "traditional" sausages, because I find them - grizzly, and more fat than flavor. However, I was very pleasantly surprised that not only was the Johnsonville Andouille clearly labeled "gluten free", but that it had an ingredient list I could understand, and I felt good about purchasing. The sausage was spicy enough for, so, I really cut pack on the amount of cayenne, I also used long grain brown rice rather than white, to get some extra nutrients. :)

by Stillwaterangel 8 months ago
This recipe is fast and easy. The taste is amazing. My family is a big fan of red beans and rice. They loved the flavors of this recipe...I added a little extra cayenne pepper. I love the time it saves me. Fast and easy to prepare and the cleanup couldn't be easier. This recipe will go into "our favorites" file.

The beans needed to be drained. Loved the flavor but I think it needed some tomato paste in it also. Didn't find it to hot at all. Loved the sausage. Would definitely make it again but with the tomato paste.

CAREFUL.....LIKELY TO SET THE GARBAGE CAN ON FIRE!
by jackie2830 10 months ago
OMG.........I guess you just have to acquire a taste for HEAVY CAYENNE and New Orleans food. And I'm from Buffalo, New York.....you know, the Wing capital, but this heat was ridiculous!!! And I listened to another reviewer and cut it to 1 teaspoon..........hubby and I ate a few bites, then dumped the whole pot into the garbage! Not only were our mouths on fire, the recipe really lacked any taste........very bland, like it lacked something.......or maybe our taste buds were just paralyzed from the pepper. My mother-in-law was a born and raised Floridian and her home cooking was so flavorful.........this was not. We'll just stick with our Johnsonville brats and Italian sausage going forward.

Good but VERY Spicy
by Galex 10 months ago
The sausage is great but the amount of cayenne pepper they tell you to use made this way too spicy for my taste. I generally like spicy food, but the sausage is already hot (in a good way) and the pepper just took it overboard. I would make this again and just use less cayenne.

A keeper
by Christie 1 year ago
Rather than dicing the ingredients as the directions said, we followed the photograph and coarsely chopped everything. Since the sausage is relatively spicy, we only used 1 teaspoon of cayenne which made it spicy enough but not too spicy for our 60+ year old stomachs. We also used red and yellow peppers for color. Very tasty - will do again.
