    I absolutely loved this for dinner. I did add Turkey polska kielbasa, and halved the recipe(we are only a fam of three). Just the right amount of spice..was impressed my anti-okra fiance' ate his okra and didn't complain :-) A real winner. - 10/18/10

    Love it! I have to lower the spice so my 4yo can eat it. I tip for anyone who wants to leave out the Tabasco: splash a little vinegar in to keep the taste the same, just not so hot. I added about 5 oz. of smoked sausage (.5 oz. per person at 10 servings). - 1/27/10

    This is a wonderful dish. I'm a whip and thought it was a little hot, but I just added a serving of sour cream which added a lot of yummy flavor. - 1/5/10
