We loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't have a lot of experience with Jambalaya (eating or making) but I really enjoyed this dish. It was easy (I left out... the shrimp) and delicious. I RARELY enjoy anything as a leftover but this was good even a few days later. Would recommend and make again (and again).Read more

Hello great receipe for cold winter days. I added my own twist on this. 1. can of kidney beans 2. can of mixed... veggies 3. meatballs made out of the bratwurst cut three bratwursts, peel of the skin. Poured the meat in a bowel. Add bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 1/4 tsp of parsley and 14 tsp of garlic. Mixed it up and formed tiny sized meat balls out of it. Fried onions first, then added 1 polish sliced up sausage, meatballs, and let it cook for several minutes. Added a can of kidney beans and a can of mixed veggies to the whole mixture. Read more

EASY To Make - Even My Husband Could Make This One! DELICIOUS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It is cold here today so I decided to make some WARM food! This is so easy to make and delicious! It got two thumbs up from... my husband and I told him that it was something that he could make all by himself ... should he be inclined! LOL I did note that on the TV program it used 1 14 oz can of tomato sauce instead of the 8 oz listed on the website. I used the 8 oz can, but noted that after the first 20 minutes I had to add some water before I added my shrimp. I went back and watched the jambalaya segment and sure enough she added a 14 oz can of tomato sauce. That is the only thing that I will change next time I cook this. I might add more shrimp too! I used 3/4 pound, but the shrimp are soooo good! Read more
