I made this today, and wasn't sure what to expect. It is nothing like the Justin Wilson creole that I make and my family is use to. I have to agree with another reviewer... its more of a Tex-Mex rice dish than an actual "creole". It was very tasty and I may make it again. It is pretty quick and easy to put together. Now I know what I will be getting as the final result. Thank you for posting your recipe. (Made for ZWT9)

Except for the addition of garlic, I made this recipe as written for the Goddesses of ZWT-9 & the Zingo Plus Challenge. The flavor profile & ingredients taste much more Tex-Mex to me than Cajun or Creole, but we liked it just the same. I served it w/a mixed cucumber salad & a rolled tortilla filled w/melted Monterrey Jack cheese for a meal reminiscent of my yrs in Dallas. Thx for posting this recipe & the trip down memory late. .

I made this on 1/20/10, as the main dish for mine and SO's dinner. Due to what was on hand a couple of changes were made to the recipe. They are as follows, smoked sausage was used instead of the kielbasa and a freeze dried green/red pepper mix was used in place of the red bell pepper. Other than those changes, this recipe was made as written. I had to cook this dish for 25 minutes to get the rice tender. I do think that if I make this again, the amount of salsa will be reduced in half. It was a bit too much for us. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
