I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the creamy red beans and rice, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I love that this dish can be made in one pot. It's so easy to clean up afterwards.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover red beans. I usually make a big pot of red beans on Sundays and then use the leftovers to make this dish during the week.

I didn't have any bell pepper on hand, so I used green pepper instead. It turned out great!

The instructions were a bit unclear. I wasn't sure when to add the rice.

This recipe was too spicy for me. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

The red beans were a bit too mushy for my liking. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of red beans and rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The beans were creamy and the rice was fluffy. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
