Most helpful positive reviewRating: 5 stars 08/28/2012 This is a favorite of ours because it tastes great and is quick and easy to fix. I omit the oil to lessen the calories and add only 8 oz. of the smoked turkey sausage to the rice mix and water. My husband likes to top his with grated sharp cheddar. Read More
Most helpful critical reviewRating: 3 stars 02/13/2013 It was okay, but since "the stuff in the box" did most of the work I can't give this one anymore than 3 stars. Followed the directions exactly and will use it again but it's an insult to call this a recipe. Read More 24 Ratings

Rating: 5 stars 03/10/2011 I added strips of onion at the beginning with the sausage, instead of green onion at end. Great recipe! Rating: 4 stars 07/08/2011 Use Zatarain's Red Bean and Rice Mix. It's all in the mix and it's quick & tasty! Rating: 4 stars 04/18/2012 This recipe is perfect for a quick, easy and inexpensive meal. Next time I would use 2 lbs of sausage, as my family likes more meat with their meal. Rating: 5 stars 05/09/2013 Came out great, fried an onion with the sausage. Thanks for sharing! Rating: 5 stars 04/04/2012 Quick, easy and inexpensive! Perfect combo! Rating: 4 stars 07/02/2013 I removed the Zataran's mix and replaced it with my own cajun spice mix and rice. Still turned out awesome. Rating: 4 stars 05/13/2013 A quick and easy meal to make on a busy night. Rating: 3 stars 02/22/2016 This is a very easy recipe and tastes like something my mom would make, so it's great comfort food. It does taste like it's missing something though - may work better as a side than a main dish? Next time i'll be cooking it in butter as opposed to oil to see if that adds a more robust flavor. Rating: 5 stars 08/04/2013 This turned out great and will fix again. Rating: 5 stars 11/24/2016 As I was making the rice, it smelled so good, so I know it's going to taste yummy and I'm so happy that I found the recipe. This is a great addition to my Thanksgiving Dinner for my family. Rating: 5 stars 02/06/2017 Wanted a quick meal, got it. It was enjoyable and left overs were even better. Rating: 4 stars 08/23/2016 Very quick and easy to make. Tasted great! Rating: 4 stars 10/21/2017 Easy and fast, for those times when you don't have time to fix it from scratch. The recipe is very adaptable to change. I will make this again. Rating: 4 stars 07/28/2019 This is super easy and tasty, though I almost gave it three stars because, as another reviewer said, Zatarains does all the work. I also made a few changes: I sautéed onions, celery and pepper, and I used about half the meat but added a cup or so of homemade beans. I made it in an instant pot. Rating: 5 stars 01/13/2021 This is a great basic recipe. Yes, the box does most of the work. I recommend sautéing onion, bell pepper and celery first as an add in. You can also throw a can of tomatoes with green chiles in the mix for more texture and flavor! The sausage can be left out for a vegetarian dish or substituted with shrimp or chicken as well. Starting with Zatarains just makes the whole thing easier and starts with great flavors.
