    The beans all turned to mush. I thought it tasted good, though.

    Even without green peppers and sausage, this had authentic taste.

    These were great. I added a little ham and hot sauce when cooking the beans.

    I've made this several times and have never been disappointed. I've shared with family and freinds. They all rave.

    This recipe for Red Beans & Rice was pretty darn good. We ended up with some excess grease/oil on top after about 90 minutes of cooking and had to skim most of it off by hand. This wasn't too big of a deal and it didn't seem to hurt anything. All in all a good recipe, but I have tasted better in some restaurants in Houston and New Orleans.

    Turned out great on my first attempt (we're talking culinary novice, here, although the cooking time was longer for me than in the recipe. Guess I erred a bit on the side of caution and used a lower heat than called for.

    Regardless, as someone who grew up eating red beans and rice as a staple of a southern diet, this recipe blows Mom's away (sorry Ma!.

    I immediately made a second batch for a tailgating get-together and they stole the show. My only word of caution is to understand how much a pound of beans really is before you go compounding the recipe!

    This is by far the best recipe I have ever used for Red Beans and Rice. It is easy and very, very tasty. I use the full 10 cups of water and it comes out perfect! I make this an at least once a month - my family raves over it. Have to fight them for leftovers!!

    This recipe is very versatile. the base flavoring is very "New Orleans", and will expand or contract depending on the amount of beans you mash. We have also found that substituting different sausages will influence the spiciness of the beans. A kilbosa for mild, or a spicy italian or andouli for hot!

    Wonderful with layers of flavor. Receipe called for 10 cups of water, I used just 8 and still found it to be too soupy. Recommend using 6 cups of water and play it by ear. Also, when beans are soft and you start to mash them add Worchestershire sauce. Yummy!
