My family loves New Orleans-style cooking, so I make this authentic dish often. Being a busy workingwoman, I appreciate how simple it is. And its smoky ham flavor is scrumptious. —Celinda Dahlgren, Napa CA

This came out really, really well.

We loved this recipe! It is so easy to make and very tasty. I did not have a fresh tomato so I used can diced tomatoe without the juice. We did add hot sauce to spice it up some. This was even better for leftovers the next day. This is a must to try!!

I made this as the recipe suggested except that I used extra ham hocks. I liked it a lot. My husband didn't care for it.

DID NOT MAKE THIS RECIPE BECAUSE INGREDIENTS ARE MISSING THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR GOOD RED BEANS. HAM HOCKS ARE FINE; I USE THEM. HOWEVER, NO BAY LEAVES; NO SAUSAGE (I USE CHORIZOS BUT ANDUILLE WORK AS WELL); A FEW DASHES HOT SAUCE. SAUSAGE IS A MUST IF IT IS EVEN REMOTELY RELATED TO NEW ORLEANS DISH.

This was tasty.

However,how did keverwann rate this recipe when 4 ingredients were totally changed and 2 others were added?

Not this recipe at all!

This was good, but somewhat bland. I think I would add a little hot pepper sauce to give it some kck. I did make the following substitutions though: 3 stalks of celery (diced) for the green pepper, a meaty hambone for the ham hocks, black beans for red beans, and brown rice for white. I also added 5 diced carrots and 1/2 can of diced green chilies. These changes added moe veggies, vitamins, minerals, and fiber to the dish and used what I had on hand. NOTE: This only took 4 hours on low for my crockpot!
