Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

Too many carbs for me
By replacing the kidney beans with dried red beans, increase water to 7 cups, add 3 T Creole seasoning and cook in a crock pot for 7-8 hours, it significantly reduces the calories and carbs.
Calorie accuracy is important. The count is based on .33 oz. sausage per serving. Recipe calls for a lb. of sausage. Use only 1/4 lb. sausage, or up your calorie count about 45 calories. I used 14 oz. andouille smoked pork sausage, calculated 285 calories per serving.
I managed to make a version of this with only available ingredients (no fresh produce in the house that day) and it was still good! Used low-salt versions of the beans and tomatoes, and next time I will reduce the amount of red pepper flakes a tad. Have added this recipe to my new SP favorites.
The beans were so good! I did double the red pepper and used Rotel tomatoes with chilis since that is what I had. I cooked the brown rice separately. We didn't like the turkey sausage very much, so I'll be looking for a low-fat substitute with a little more umph.
You get a lot of bang for the calories on this recipe. Loved it. Hot sauce really makes it pop!
