    My family loves this recipe! I use Healthy Choice smoked sausage for fewer calories and sodium and add a teaspoon of Tony Chachere''s salt-free Creole Seasoning for an authentic creole taste. Makes plenty for leftovers! - 4/21/09

    Wonderful, very satisfying, although I did add 2 tsp of cajun spice instead of hot sauce. Will be making often. - 1/16/13

    Incredible!
    This recipe is a big hit in my house! We especially love it with some hot sauce! The only change I've made over the years of making this recipe is to use 1 can of dark red kidney beans and I can of light red kidney beans. So good! - 6/12/19
