I made these for Fathers Day & we all loved them! I used light red kidney beans & didnt drain the tomatoes. I would use diced next time but other than that, the seasonings were perfect. Our store didnt have cajun style tomatoes so used 1 tsp of cajun seasoning. Thanks!

I made this using regular stewed tomatoes and I added onion. Very easy I would make this again.

This is total comfort food and I don't have to wait 4 hours for my Red Beans and Rice! I totally love this recipe but I kicked it up a bit with extra seasoning (at least another 1/4 tsp of each) and more Tabasco. I should probably mention that I added a teaspoon of red pepper flakes too. ;) Thanks for sharing, rbs!

This recipe gets high ratings for being easy and pretty tasty. It turned out a little on the soupy side for me, to thicken it I pureed 1/4 of the mixture and then returned it to the pan. I also added more cajun seasoning since we like things spicy. I believe for a deeper, richer flavor I will still go with the slow-cooked dry bean with fresh onions and garlic method......but if you are in a hurry and want something quick and tasty this is it!
