Louisiana Style Red Beans and Rice with Sausage

Made the quicky version with canned beans linked in this recipe, and increased spices by about 1/3.

Yum! We used pinto beans since we were given so many from a family member. It worked great. I did a quick soak on the beans because I never remember to overnight soak them. I only used 5 cups of water instead of 6. I agree with others that it was quite bland as is. Had to season pretty heavily. Next time I'll use broth instead of water to help with that.

I'm very surprised at how bland everything turned out. I'll try again with some additional seasoning so it doesn't need to be overloaded with salt to bring out the flavor. Cooked beans in a blend of chicken stock and water instead of just water. The stock did nothing to add flavor.

I ended up adding a little more salt and used cauli rice instead of regular rice. I'm not a huge bean eater but I think it turned out pretty good! 2 out of 3 kids approved!

Absolutely delicious. Added Tony cachere's and more of the other instructed seasoning. Will probably add a little more liquid next time.

Really tasty, cheap, and easy to make. I added extra seasoning and a splash of vinegar. Next time I'll use less liquid.

I added a tomato to the recipe. It added a little more substance to it. Also just used beef sausage instead of Andouille (which I couldn't find) & the spice level was perfect.

So-so. Will definitely try it again. Had with sweet cornbread in it which saved it. Otherwise, A little bland. I used kidney beans and feel like the skin is a little tough (might be my fault?). I did not use any meat… maybe that is why it did not have much flavor compared to a soup with broth in it??

Perfect as is! Hardest part is remembering to soak the beans the night before, but the meal is perfectly seasoned and easy to make. You really do have leftovers for days with this one.

I have made this exactly as written, and it was fantastic! I have also made it without meat for a wonderful pot of beans :o). I have also substituted pinto’s and yummy too !

This was really good, bit probably needs more water than what's called for
