A wonderful guide to a great recipe! Used 2 cups of chicken broth added to water. Browned homemade deer sausage, reduced with W.L. Weller Bourbon in place of smoked sausage. Used ham and ham bone from a honey-baked ham! EXCELLENT!! Thank You.

This is an easy dish to make and it is great. If you would like to up the stakes a little, make some of Emeril's Tomato and Basil Focaccia bread to go with it.

I decided to make my husabnd, who went to Tulane, an authentic red beans and rice reciepe. Based upon the previous reviews, I thought this would be the one. First, the receipe was very very mild. In addition, my red beans and rice became the color of gravy- is that supposed to be right? I suppose if you samsh the beans, the red sauce will become murky. Anyhow, it was still good, but really, really mild.

I spent my formative early adult years in New Orleans...FIRST OF ALL...THIS IS NOT A CAJUN DISH...like many New Orleans foods...people confuse Cajun with Creole. An elderly African American woman taught me to cook this in the early 80's. Emeril's recipe is perfect...except...you need a LOT more sausage...and don't forget the hot sauce...preferably Crystal!

I made this minus the hamhocks and sausage, and the flavor was EXCELLENT!!! And the best thing besides the taste of the dish was that it was virtually fat-free!

This was good and easy. I loved the spice combinations and it was not too hot or too mild, just right. I did use 2 cans of red beans instead of dried beans. I used only 1/2 cup of water and I cooked it for about 30-40 minutes on the stove once I added the beans. I switched the proportions of ham and sausage because I love smoked sausage. I will make again. My husband enjoyed it.

I left out the green pepper, but upped the cayenne, onion, and garlic. Dropped in in the crock pot all day on low--house smelled divine on arrival at home. Serve over brown rice. I think even the cats wanted some!

This recipe for Red Beans and Rice makes for a delicious and nutritous meal. My girlfriend's teenage son, who ordinarily refuses to eat beans, loved it. Maybe, he like it because we decided to give it a more hearty, manly title, "Ham Stew."

I made this for my family and it was a big hit. The next day my husband took the rest into work and everyone at his office asked for the recipe. The only thing I did diffrent was doubled the amount of meats.
