My husband cooked dinner for me and my girls last night and this is what he made.

Easy Red Beans and Rice from allrecipes.com

It was so delicious! I have made this several times, but you know how it is, it always tastes better when someone else cooks it! He used andouille chicken sausage and a 28oz can of diced tomatoes (I think it would have been too dry without doubling the tomatoes). It ended up being a little too spicy for our girls, but we both loved it and had it again for lunch today. If you use a milder sausage, I think it could definitely be kid friendly. It's a great meal for a cold day!
