Red Beans and Rice With Sausage
"I made this with what I had lying around and it was AWESOME! You could use any kind of bean or meat or seasoning combination, this was just what I happened to have. What about black beans, steak strips, and taco seasoning? Also, adding some other veggies would probably jazz it up quite a bit."

My Husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. It was a bit spicy for our taste. So next time I will reduce the cajun seasoning to 1 1/2 teaspoons and omit the salt. We will be making this again that's for sure. Thank you for the recipe. -
Yum, this was great! I used smoked sausage that was on hand, omitted the salt (personal preference), and took the suggestion from the intro to add some veggies - celery, green bell pepper, and onion. It was flavorful and delicious, and very easy to make. The long grain white rice I used only needed 15 minutes to cook, so this came together quickly. Thanks for sharing! PAC Fall '12 -
This was really tasty,,,I was'nt sure whether to use sausagemeat or prepared sausages, but as I had some smoked sausage, I went with that. I used recipe #33092 for the cajun seasoning and reduced the chili just a touch for (personal taste) I also added an onion, just because I love the taste. I will make this again but next time I will try sausagemeat. Spring PAC 2011
