Save dinner!
by NBTexas 3 months agoStarted a different recipe only to find out it needed to simmer for 2.5 hours! This one saved the day.
Our "Standby" recipe!
by Bubbie 6 months agoThis recipe tastes far better than it "reads." The combination of flavors as well as the kick of the cayenne makes it a very flavorful meal. To cut carbs I often serve it without rice. Try it, you'll like it!
Spicy Good
by John R. Tendorf 6 months agoThe recipe was easy to follow and the result was delicious! Have copied the recipe to many friends. Still have the original copy from my local newspaper. Even posted it on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd6HsTkHMfp/?igshid=wso3y26lkbit

Really good
by Beth 1 year agoEasy to make and quite tasty. I did add an 8oz can of tomato sauce for more broth (while simmering). It gave it some additional flavor too. Hubby and I both liked it. Would make again.
Love this dish!
by Ya Vaughn Harlston 2 years agoI made this for the first time 2.5 years ago and it was really tastey. My family loves it when I prepare it for dinner. I make it at least 2 times a month. I also make cornbread with it as well. It complement the red beans and sausage.
Tons of flavor
by Brian Grice 2 years agoMy wife and I have been cooking this for over a year now. About 3 times a month! We can't get enough, sooo good!!!
Flavorful and Simple
by Jen Curtis 2 years agoMy husband and I love this recipe. Its quick and relatively healthy. Sometimes I add extra veggies too.
Make it easy on yourself..
by Mary 3 years agoplus save time and use Zatarains Red Beans & Rice (or their Black Beans & Rice). Make it even more interesting & delish by adding Johnsonville's Flame Grilled Chicken along with the sauce. Take it a step further to make (what I call) "New Orleans Paella" by adding clams during the last few minutes rice is cooking (till clams open) and voila...a spectacular festive dish.
Fast and Easy Red Beans and Sausage
by Alan 4 years agoWe have been using this recipe for abut 4 years now and we have never been let down. Our family loves it and its an easy go to meal. We followed the recipe exactly and it was Delicious!
P.s. if your not sticking to the directions then it really isn't a review on this recipe.
Fast and Easy Red Beans and Sausage
by MaryLou 5 years agoI gave it 5 stars with these ideas. I use 1 package Andouille sausage and 1/2 package 3 cheese Sausage. I also use Uncle Ben's (90 second) Spanish Rice, 6 cheese Italian grated cheese and 1 can red beans. I follow the directions ; except I don't add green peppers. I cook everything for 20 minutes (except cheese) I then place everything in a flat casserole dish. Mix in the heated rice and 1 cup grated cheese. I bake for 25 minutes, covered, then add 1 cup grated cheese to the top and bake an additional 5 minutes, uncovered to melt cheese. .

A recipe is only a guide line; it is meant to be changed. When everyone in my family and my friends rave about it it then it is a keeper don, know it until you try it. I a have also changed sausages (today I used Andouille and Italian Johnsonville Sausages, again to great revies.
Fast And Easy Red Beans And Sausage
by Kimberly Brinkley 7 years agoA delightful dish indeed!!! Delicious!!I Also made buttered mini jiffy corn muffins to go with it!! Yum yum!! My friend is very picky, he loved it!!
Quick and Easy Family FEAST!
by Nikki 7 years agoThis is a great and healthy dinner to make on the fly. Sausage is just enough flavor and kick to give the beans and rice some life. Our little picky eater even loves to munch on this. It holds up well for next day eating leftovers and I think is even better the next day. We always go back to this tried and true dinner staple.
Love This!
by Tracy S. 7 years ago 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 7 years agoI 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.
Very tasty
by amata3 8 years agoSimple, versatile, and tasty. We enjoyed this dish.
sooooo good and easy!
by chele17 8 years agowe are so glad to find this quick and delish recipe
Simple and Delightful
by Bettyboop215 8 years agoThis recipe is simple but yet delightfully satisfying. Will definitely recommend.
Make it at least twice a month
by Brasidas 8 years agoI make this dish at least twice a month. Best Red Bean and Rice recipe outside of the Bayou.
Definitly one of my favorite ways to serve Johnsonville sausages
by BFeagle 8 years agoI 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 8 years agoThis 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!
This is very good! We love Johnsonville products!
by Louise 8 years agoThis is very good! We love Johnsonville products! Our family loves to have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Thank you for the savings!
Very filling
by Rosie25 8 years agoThis dish was very filling and delicious. Tweeked it some to add more of a spicy kick.

by dom1578 8 years agothis dish is awesome!!! i will make this once a week
TASTY!!
by Katie2010 8 years agoWe made it for dinner tonight and like all Johnsonville foods I couldn't have been happier!!! It had right amount of heat but wasn't spicy. My boyfriend isn't a big bean fan but he loved it!!
Amazing
by Lpecpa 8 years agoThis is a family favorite especially for fall. My family will ask for this for dinner
Yummy
by Mrsstalegna 8 years agoMy family loves red beans and rice. Nice twist with kielbasa.

Fast,easy, delicious

My husband really enjoyed this.
by Deanna 8 years agoMy husband really enjoyed this meal. He liked it best when I served it hot. I have made it a few times.
Dinner in a Flash
by Ginj 8 years agoNo idea what to have for dinner? This one comes together in minutes. Spice it up as much or as little as your family likes.
Really liked it
by joetghof 8 years agoI use jambalaya rice mix. You can use the leftovers for stuffed peppers
Better with Camilla red beans slow cooked!!
by doodlebugsmama 8 years agoI use this sausage in my New Orleans slow cooked red beans! I love the flavor the sausage gives the beans!!
Lots of Flavor
by Eddiepeddie 8 years agoI 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.
If you like SPICY
by lakep 8 years agoThis 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.
One pot meal!
by aggtddt 8 years agoAn all in one pot meal, rice, green pepers, sausage. it's the best. Quick and easy to make and everyone love it.
New menu item
by Sandy 8 years agoI made this last week and my husband loved it. I will definitely make this again.
Cheap, easy and enough to feed an army
by IceBergTYS 8 years agoI'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.
This sausage can be used so many different ways
by Willymae341 8 years agoWe have always been a Johnsonville sausage user. We have had it at different times for each meal. I have gotten several friends using your products.
great receipe
by Bill1061 8 years agoThis was a great dish. I've made using brown rice as well.
YUM!
by rikkijo 8 years agoThis was a simple, fast meal with a ton of great flavor! Will definitely be making it again!
Would Make Again
by bakingbetty 8 years agoMade this dish for my husband and myself recently. Was super easy to prepare and had a lot of flavor. My husband wasn't a huge fan, but I did enjoy it! I'd make it again for just me.
What's better than Red Beans & Rice?
by llibby77 8 years agoFast & Easy Red Beans & Sausage....even better the next day!
This recipe was far more than I expected!
by Caramel 8 years agoIt was absolutely great red beans and rice is a favorite of mine and this recipe is a quick and tasty way of making it taste like it had been cooking all day!
very nice
by lyndatm 8 years agomade it tonight for supper but added chopped tomatos , black beans instead of kidney, taco seasoning instead of cayenne and also added 1/4 red rice with the 3/4 white. Omitted celery as I didn t have any. Served it with a dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions....very good. Will make it again.
Delicious meal!
by cubuffraff 8 years agoTHis is a great one dish delicious and filling meal. Great flavor!
This was a fast and flavorful recipe with well blended flavors
by Cook 8 years agoThe family loved this recipe. It took no time to put together and was a family hit. Omitted the cayenne pepper, the Andouille Sausage added just the right amount of kick. Also substituted equal amounts of chicken and beef broth for the water. Delicious!
Good dinner!
by Alpacateresa 8 years agoMy boys loved this, called it man food! red beans, sausage what is not for a guy to love? Quick easy and hearty!
very delicious, easy to cook
by corinna35 8 years agoawesome flavor, and very family friendly for dinner
We LOVED this!!
by Wendy 8 years agoI 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 taste, filling and easy to make.
by Turner 8 years agoI 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.
Great!!
by Marcia 8 years agosince I am Gluten free, I am always trying to find new ways of spicy up my meals and this was great! Thank you for your wonderful products, I'll continue to purchase these in the future for sure. So easy to make :)

My family loves red beans and rice. This time saving recipe is good and the time is a bonus.
by susan 8 years agoThis 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.
Great Gluten Free Recipe. :)
by Jbonow1231 8 years agoOnly 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. :)
That is some really good sausage
by stef 8 years agoi love the receipe. THe saugsage is really good and thank you for seperating the sauage into to 2 seperate packs. keep that sausage coming.
Super fast and super Easy!
by JSVlover 8 years agoThis dish is full of flavor. With prep time and cooking it was 30 minutes.
Very good, but to juicy.
by Jayne 8 years agoThe 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 8 years agoOMG.........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.
I cut the cayenne pepper in half, I can't imagine using 1/2 Tbsp!
by HollywoodBreeze 8 years agoThis was very quick and easy. Everyone loved it. I did cut the cayenne pepper in half, I can't imagine using 1/2 Tbsp! It was plenty spicy with only 1/4 tbsp. I'm adding this to my family favorites.
Good but VERY Spicy
by Galex 8 years agoThe 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 8 years agoRather 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.
