Creole

"I found this recipe on a package of kielbasa sausage, I think. I've been making it for years. It's soooo very yummy. In addition to making it for dinner, it's also great in a tortilla with some shredded cheddar, for an on the go meal!"

  1. I did not know there was a dish called Creole - I thought it was a region ! But this savoury sausage and rice dish is great and so easy to make. I used brown rice and both yellow and red peppers. Made for Zingo.
     
  2. 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)
     
  3. 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. .
     
  4. This was very easy and quite tasty. My son-in-law said, "This is super-good!" I made it for ZWT9, used Zatarains rice mix and Andouille sausage. Lots of flavor and ease of making earns this an easy 5 stars! Thanks, Charmie!
     
  5. it was easy and filling I added shrimp to it and everyone loved it thanks.

Tweaks

  1. 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 :) "
     
  2. My kind of meal, quick and easy! I had to substitute the Spanish Rice mix with Taco Rice mix, but other than that followed the recipe exactly. I will be making this one again!! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
     
  3. Very nice, easy and quick. I used Tofurky instead of meat sausage, my apology to the chef.
