I used kielbasa and skipped the green pepper because I didn't have any. I added about a cup of cooked brown rice half way through cooking. Nice and spicy and leftovers were great.

Delicious! I did add a can of diced tomatoes to cut down on the spiciness of the Rotel. Served it over rice with cheesy cornbread on the side. Perfect.

YUM!!! My husband and I both love this--just the right kick! This is so easy, he can throw it in the crockpot and take it to work and have it ready by dinnertime. Perfect!

Simple ingredients....BIG taste (and so much like a gumbo-well when mixed with rice of course). We were most impressed. I did only use 1 TBS of italian seasoning, which was perfect for us.

This was one of thse recipes that make you say "WOW"! It was absolutely delicious and had the perfect amount of spiciness. I had to double the recipe to feed my family. However, instead of doubling the sausage, I added in a packaged of diced ham along with the sausage. I served this over rice with cornbread as Miss Annie suggested. My whole family enjoyed this and I'm already looking forward to making it again. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!
