We didn’t try it that way, but I think that would be good! You might want to add a little more seasoning to make up for the extra volume though.

I added cayenne pepper to taste.

It had enough flavor that I didn’t need to add any extra sauces or toppings.

You’d need roughly 9oz of dried beans to equal the canned beans used in the recipe and they’d need to be cooked prior to using them in the recipe.

We didn’t test it adding it to the actual recipe, so I can’t give you a concrete answer there. I would just cook the rice separately as normal and serve with the sausage and beans spooned over top of it.

Absolutely delicious. I’ll make this again for sure.
