My Brazilian Feijoada image

A co-worker's mom used to make this dish for him and it was his favorite. So I made him my own version. Instead of sausage you can use ham hocks, or substitute lean white meat for the red meat if you prefer. -Christiane Counts, Webster, Texas

This feijoada was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I will definitely be making it again, but I will use less chili pepper next time.
