This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the red beans and rice, and they even ate the bell peppers!

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter, and this is a great way to use it up.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker, and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I had some trouble finding andouille sausage, so I used regular sausage instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
