Red Beans & Rice with Sausage

Need to adjust cooking method so rice can cook fully

Would rather have chicken in it. Also there is way too much spice for my family. But supper good, it's just my tummy did not like the spice. My daughter does not like sausage of any kind the texture gets her stuff I will try chicken next time.

Delicious but way too spicy. Will make it again and hold the cayenne.

It taste amazing

It was too spicy for me. Next time, I'll leave out the cayenne pepper and cut the red pepper flakes down.

Delish! I used half a cup of white wine vinegar and half a cup of water instead of the white wine. Very tasty and nicely spicy. Easy as well!

Didn't have kidney beans used black beans instead. Left out cayenne for the kids. Added shredded cheddar on top and sour cream. Will be a regular for us

Only for children who can handle spiciness.

I did not add cayenne pepper, very tasty and will make again.

Use less spice

We adjusted with no Cajun seasoning and no cayenne because we have a 3 year old :) like that, this needed some salt.

Added 10 bouchon cubes to 1 cup of water Added 1 stick of butter and salt to noodles after cooked

I used andouille sausage and just a pinch of red pepper flakes. My family loved it. Will be making it again.

More like jambalaya than traditional red beans and rice, but good enough to make again! I made the following adjustments: - Cooked the rice separately in the rice cooker with the chicken broth, oregano, and thyme. - Used only 1 tablespoon of olive oil. - Used teaspoons instead of tablespoons for the spices and reduced the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes by half. - Sautéed the peppers and onions for longer than the recipe called for and added a few tablespoons of chicken broth to the pan, letting them get soft and slightly charred. Added garlic and spices at the end. - Substituted chicken broth for the white wine.

Cooked the rice separately. Used 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar instead of white wine. Didn't add any red pepper flakes. Put the peppers in after the beans and let it simmer. Delicious!!! My family loves it. I've been in a rut cooking the same stuff over and over again. I found this app, and this is the first recipe I've made. I'm super happy!

My family doesn’t care to have the rice cooked in with the meat- so I lessened the amount of wine by half and the vegetable stock by 1/4 I thickened the stock with a little corn starch to help it stick to the rice My family liked this dish

It was really good. I ran out of a few ingredients the last time I made this. So I had to substitute a few things and it still turned out just as good

Even cutting the amount of spice this dish is very spicy. Next time I will cut the spice even more.

WOW! This is so good! I highly recommend. Go a little less on the seasoning if you don't like spicy. Two thumbs up!

Family enjoyed just a bit spicy 🔥 but delicious!

Love it!! It's just a little too spicy, so I adjusted the seasoning.

Used only 1/2 of the cayenne and 1/2 of the red pepper flakes, still a little spicy but good. More like a jambalaya than traditional red beans and rice

I only used about half of the spicy spices, and it was perfect...still pretty warm, but it was good

Really good but really spicy even after cutting the spice by a 1/3

This has a nice health rating and is very tasty! After reading the reviews, I followed the advice of those who said the spices were too much. I put a quarter teaspoon each of cayenne and red pepper flakes. I used a teaspoon for the other spices and the blend was perfect. It had some heat but only enough for great flavor. In my dish, I added diced tomatoes for a more rich flavor. Overall, this is a really yummy meal. I think the directions are a bit wonky, but this is one of those dishes you can tailor to your own taste. I cooked the rice separately. Again, that was suggested by many reviewers that decided to go that way. I believe it made the rice better than cooking it inside this meal because it might’ve come out very mushy and I used a Dutch oven to cook. Furthermore, I added the bell peppers last so that they would simmer with the rest of the meal for the last 15 to 20 minutes. They cooked during that time. Otherwise, I felt they would’ve come out very mushy; this way, they were perfect. I scaled the recipe for eight people. And we have a ton of leftovers and it made lunches for my husband. we froze two of them and left three of them out for his work week starting today and I have plenty of leftover for myself i to snack on over the next few days.

I didn’t have wine on hand because it was Sunday in MS (IYKYK). I just used 3 cups of chicken broth. This recipe turned out great! Halved the spicy ingredients just like the other recommended and I can concur on this part. Any more and it would have overpowered the other flavors of the recipe. Eyeballed the thyme and oregano (1/2 thumb length is one tbsp). I’ll be making again!!!

Used spicy chicken sausage from Traders. Didn't have white wine, used some rice vinegar and water in place. I used recipe as a guide. Family LOVED. Hubby came back for seconds. Thank you! I think the paprika and chicken bullion are a must for seasoning all others are variables.

Cut the spices in half or more. I will also use my rice cooker for the rice, took to long to try to cook it all together.

I'm sure the tablespoons for the spices must be a typo. I used teaspoons. For the cayenne pepper red pepper flakes, I used a rounded 1/4 tsp, instead of 1/2 tsp. It is just the right amount of spicy. It needs more salt. The rice is very wet. I thought 2 cups of chicken broth was too much, and it was. Next time, I'll use 1-3/4 cup or 1-1/2 cup.

Very tasty, I'm glad I looked what others said about the spices I put a lot lest in , and it was still quite spicy

Thinking the spices should have been typed out as teaspoons, not tablespoons. ??

I made the rice separately as suggested by another comment on here. This was just ok. Kind of bland despite all the spices in it

We cooked the rice separately and mixed it in. I made the recipe for 8 servings, but we will have a LOT of leftovers. It is VERY spicy, even when I only added 1/2 of the quantity of spices it called for. I ended up mixing sour cream into each bowl as I served it. We also drank milk! One kid complained of the spice, one didn't.

This was so, so, delish! It came together like a dreamy well-rounded collection of spice, texture and flavors. The sausage, beans, onions, chilli - so good. The crowd devoured this one. 👏

This was delicious, however, very spicy, and I even halved the amounts the recipe called for. I would also recommend cooking the rice separately at the beginning because it took a long time for the rice to cook with everything else.

Very flavorful!

Great flavor

Easy recipe. Tasted better the next day. Had cornbread on the side 😋

Delicious and spicy!!!

FAVORITE delicious meal!!!

Tasty but super spicy! Next time we'll use less of the spicy seasonings.

Mighty tasty. I left out the hot stuff. I could make this with either hamburger or chicken also. This recipe is a keeper

We agreed extra water and broth to make it more moist and flavorful and we loved it

Absolutely delicious. If you can't handle spicy heat omit the red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper. We garnished with sliced scallions, crumbled bacon, and sour cream. Definitely going on our favorite list.

Super good. I had some seasoning mix I had left over from another recipe. It has all the same seasonings except crushed red pepper. I added a bit more cayenne pepper at the end just to add kick.

Like many have said, tone down the cayenne and pepper flakes until you REALLY like spice. I'd say less than a teaspoon of cayenne. I didn't need to add any salt after the bouillon, sausage, and beans. With that said, the flavor is awesome and as modified this could be a go-to.

half the spices

Delicious but next time I make it, I will half the spices. It's a little spicy 🔥

I made it way too spicy so I added a small can of tomato sauce and it helped a lot.

Way too much thyme and oregano for our tastes. I would try this again but without the the and oregano and adding diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings in them. I think that would be much more appealing to us.

It was really good!! I added more cayenne to make it spicier.

In theory, this dish is fine. In reality, I'll just stick to my typical jambalaya recipe instead and add beans to it. The rice and beans needed to cook longer. They were a bit crunchy still. Everything tasted slightly burnt - I suspect it's from adding the spices in before there's any liquid in the pan.

The store only had turkey hot dogs or apple flavored chicken sausages so I grabbed the hotdogs instead. I used better than bouillon instead of a bouillon cube and only green bell pepper as the store had no other bell peppers. It’s a little too spicy but was pretty good

Definitely cut back on cayenne & red pepper. Excellent recipe!

The spice amounts were extreme and I had cut them in half. I ended up draining the broth off and adding fresh broth. It was still very spicy! If I make it again I would start with one quarter of a teaspoon of each spice then make additions by taste testing. I still had to add sour cream in order to eat it and my husband couldn't finish his.

I have to do many substitutions for this meal. Since I didn't kidney beans I used black beans instead, I didn't have turkey sausage instead used Cumberland and instead of chicken broth red wine. Still loved it, defently had a spicey kick to it which I loved. Next time I make it I'll use less rice. Not complaining since iv got left overs for tommrows lunch. Thumbs up from partner too.

Really good! Cooked everything exactly per the recipe and it turned out great. A tad spicy, but was expected with the spxe mix listed. I used 10 minutes basmati rice and it was cooked perfectly after 15 mins. We be making again!

Great taste, will definitely go back to this. Substituted chicken broth for wine, Polish sausage for Turkey sausage. It was good but probably will remake with smoked sausage.

I only had beef kielbasa so I used that. I also doubled the beans and since I didn't have wine, I just used chicken broth. I had to add an additional cup of broth at the end. Doesn't need the tyme. 10/10

We used red bell pepper only and only had 1.

Very spicy! The rice didn't cook very well in the dish so maybe next time we will cook the rice by itself then add to the dish

I really liked it perfect spice level definitely will be making it again but it definitely took longer then 30 minutes

Awesome! I only added a teaspoon of spices and quarter teaspoon of cayenne though since a tablespoon seemed like a lot.

Might cut back on some of the spices next time as it was very spicy.

It was a good recipe but way to spicy. I think I would make is again but cut the spices in 1/2. I also added 2 cups of water to help cook the rice.

Cook the rice in a rice cooker. None of their directions work

Pretty good! I wish I had left some of the spice in (took it out because kids, who didn't eat it ☹️), but otherwise I quite liked it. I cooked it in the instant pot because rice and salt don't do well together at high altitude and it would have been tomorrow if I tried to cook it normally. Probably won't make again cause the kids didn't like it hardly at all.

This was good! Made it with minute rice instead of long grain since that’s what I had, cut way back on the cayenne pepper/chili pepper to better suit my family’s tastes, and used a whole bouillon cube instead of half. Took longer than expected, about an hour and 20 minutes, start to finish. Will definitely be making again!
