I agree with another - a LOT of food. I cut the rec for 6, including 4 teens. Maybe my mistake was having biscuits & salad too. Very good but too much left over. Next time I'll cut it for 3. I don't know how people can eat so much.

We love this..having it again this week to bring in the New Year!

I did not add the red pepper flakes, just the ground red pepper and next time I will do half of that amount because not all of the kids liked the spiciness (although my husband and I LOVED it). Also, instead of the black-eyed peas I added a can of black and red beans and about a cup of onions. I used brown rice to make it healthier. Finally, I added corn. It made it so yummy and would make again! My husband to save this recipe :)

My 14 year old son Loves this for dinner

So very delicious. Even my husband who doesn't like rice can't get enough of this dish!

Not the best...

So this turned out to be really spicy. I guess I should have known because the only spice you use is red pepper. It did make a lot. But maybe it wouldn't have seemed like so much if we had liked it. Might try to make it again but use a different seasoning instead.

My husband loved this, but I thought it was just okay. The recipe makes a LOT of food.

I actually have made this recipe multiple times. I boil a ham bone in the chicken broth for a couple of hours before adding the sausage. Whatever meat comes off the bone adds a lot of additional flavor. Gets even better the next day.

i would make it again with less peas only because i don't really like black eyed peas or any peas for that matter. however, the dish was much better than i thought it was going to be!
