With a few simple changes to better suit our taste, this is a delicious, quick, easy meal. Instead of using oil, I spray a non-stick pan with no-stick cooking spray to saute the green pepper and onion, omit the spicy Cajun seasoning, hot pepper sauce, and water and sub with a can of diced stewed tomatoes (including the juice), and a few generous squirts of our favorite bottled BBQ sauce. We couldn't even taste the sausage the first time I made the recipe, so now I omit it to make this a meatless meal. This makes way too much for just the two of us, but halving the recipe using one can of kidney beans makes enough for two nights, always a plus for me when I can get two meals out of one recipe. Served over brown rice, this is a real favorite around here - yum!

Surprisingly good and very simple and quick to make. I just added a little salt and it was good to go.
love this
I make this all the time. We use Jalapeno's instead of green peppers. My husband and 7 yr old daughter love this.
