Smoked turkey sausage and red pepper flakes add zip to this saucy, slow-cooked version of the New Orleans classic. For extra heat, add red pepper sauce at the table. —Julia Bushree, Georgetown, Texas

My family loves this dish. I serve it over brown rice to make it a little more healthy and because white rice seems to soft. it gets mushy.

Received major compliments from my husband his friends. Very hearty. Start this in the morning before I leave for work and come home to dinner. Love this recipe.

believe it or not, people in Louisiana do NOT put tomatoes in red beans or gumbo!

Had zero flavor. The sausage get too overcooked and soft and looses all its great flavor. Had to add so much extra spices and salt so I had to give a low star review. will try a more authentic recipe next time.

We like this a lot! I make a mild version of it and even my two young daughters like it. I use brown rice and I think most times I put a little extra sausage in it to make it a little heartier. I've made it two or three times and it's been delicious every time. I also mix the rice in and let it absorb some of the flavor for awhile at the end, and it's even better when we eat the leftovers.

Since canned beans are ready to heat and serve I'm not sure I understand why it takes 8 - 10 hours to cook this recipe. And I'm a born and raised Louisianian & have never put a can of tomatoes in red beans in my life.
