A wonderfully satisfying treat for both the taste buds and to the eye! Very easy to prepare, and even the leftovers the next day were exquisitely delicious. You can make this as spicy as you dare, by altering the amount of cayenne. The spicier the better for me, so I added a bit of Tabasco to the mix for good measure. Also threw in a good-sized pinch of basil. Although the recipe calls for crock-pot cooking, I was pressed for time and prepared this on the stove-top. Next time I will try the crock pot, just so this wonderful smell will be present in the kitchen throughout the day.

We have made this many many times. It is so good. Just as good as we had at ou favorite BBQ restaurant, and our BBQ guru neighbors raved about it too when we shared. Didn't change anything.

Five star keeper, no question. Wonderful. Made overnight in my crockpot so it would be ready to take to a friend the next morning. Only change - had no celery. Will make again and again. THANKS!

Last fall I happened upon this recipe. It is FANTASTIC!!! It freezes well and can be used as a baked potato topping or in a tortilla. I have added chicken or kidney beans etc and that is great too. I do OAMC, as I am alone, so I can enjoy it at anytime.

This was a very good, satisfying meal. I made it in the crockpot and used 1 lb. of beans that were soaked overnight. I kept everything else the same, using mild cajun sausage. I used Tony Cacherie's seasoning so I omitted the cayenne and peppers. In the beginning, I saw that it needed more water so I added 1 cup more.We ate this with recipe#316267, which was very nice. Thanks so much-
