I spiced the beans up a little with red pepper flakes and served over cornbread and molasses instead of rice. The spicy/sweet combination was fantasic! Also used a ham bone.

I was not very excited about making red beans and rice, however, my husband really wanted some...so I went with this recipe, Emeril's never let me down. This was FANTASTIC! I couldn't find tasso, without ordering in bulk online, so as strange as it sounds, I seasoned pancetta with the tasso seasonings, other than that, I followed the recipe, and it was excellent! Can't wait to make it again! Thanks Emeril!

Just came back from NOLA and had the best red beans & rice at Vaughan's, so I wanted to recreate it the best I could. After searching around for recipes, I decided to stick with Mr. Lagasse bc he seems to know what he's doing! This recipe was AMAZING!! I did have to make some adjustments with ingredients that are not available in my city - replaced tasso/ham with black forest ham (only smoked ham the market had, Polish kielbasa instead of andouille, and water instead of stock; the rest I was able to get fresh, including the smoked hocks. I did not find this recipe as salty as some of the other reviewers are saying. Adding the smoked hocks was the best part, I cooked it whole with the beans for the 2hrs, at the end all the meat was falling off the bone so I took it off and put it back into the pot. Yum. Takes a lot of time & effort for prep and cooking but definitely worth the wait. Do as the old New Orleanians did: put it on the stove then do some laundry!

Great recipe. After trying it the first time, I added a little more heat to it with some jalapeno and habanero (personal preference. Other than that, great flavor, great blend of spices and texture. I have friends that detest red beans and rice, this meal changed thier minds.

This is the second time I have made red beans and rice. First time using Emeril. By far, absolutely the best! I think this may be the best I have ever eaten. I did use frozen chopped veggies and dried herbs and still came out unbelievable. If you are looking for authentic taste.. this is it!

This is a great, but I'm a vegetarian, so I used groundnut oil instead of bacon grease and a tablespoon of Tabasco smoked chipotle hot sauce to get a smokey New Orleans flavor. Delicious!
