Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot pepper sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can simmer this dish in a large pot on the stovetop. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the rice is cooked through.
For extra flavor, add a ham hock while cooking.
