This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the smoked sausage. It was still delicious! The beans and rice were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I had a ham bone in my freezer and I didn't know what to do with it. This recipe was the perfect solution. The ham bone added a lot of flavor to the dish.
