Jiffy Jambalaya

This recipe is delish--and great for anyone who participates in Weight Watchers! I cut the oil and used Pam cooking spray instead, added about 1/2 cup each of black/pinto beans to pump up the fiber for lowering points, and what a low-cal meal! Filling, delicious, and low calories!!

This was a great quick and easy recipe! I didn't have any instant rice on hand, so I used regular white rice. If you use regular rice, add at least 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups more water and it takes about 3o minutes to simmer. Added a hint of chicken broth, may try more next time. Used turkey sausage but still delish!

Taste so good makes you want to slap your mama!

Quick, easy, kids like, so I like. I omit the oil and saute the pepper and onion with the sausage/kielbasa. I add some cumin, cayenne and/or hot sauce after the fact for the adults. This recipe is a good standby when kielbasa is buy 1 get 2 free at the grocery store because the rest of the ingredients are usually on hand.

This was sensational! My husband and I can't wait to eat it again for leftovers tomorrow! I didn't have any green peppers on hand so I omitted that. I also added a can of New Orleans style red beans (drained), used 2 minced garlic cloves instead of garlic powder and I cooked regular white rice in a separate pot (not enough room in my skillet) and combined the sausage mixture with the rice in a large bowl after simmering for 20 min. Couldn't have been better!

This was a pretty tasty meal; not exactly Jambalaya though. I added filè powder and a dash of chili powder to give it an extra kick; I felt like it was missing a little something. This was very easy to make and it tastes wonderful. Thanks for the recipe, Carolyn!

This was easy, inexpensive and a huge hit with my husband. I used Turkey kielbasa as it is lower in fat. I also doubled the amount of veggies and added 2 chipolte peppers (diced very small) for some added spice. This will be a regular in our home.

Amazing dish. Husband loved it! He claimed it tasted even better left over the next day for lunch.

this was quick and easy

This has become one of our regular "go to" meals because it's quick, easy and flavorful. I sometimes tweak the recipe for my kids' tastes and variety. For instance, we use whole wheat penne pasta instead of rice sometimes(even better in our opinion - skip the added water in the recipe and mix the pasta with the sauce at the end). We also sometimes substitute italian sausage instead of kielbasa, peas instead of bell pepper, or add hot sauce for some kick. Thanks for sharing!

I was looking for something to throw together one night when I didn't feel like cooking. I am so glad I found this recipe! I will make this again and again.

This was a surprisingly easy and good meal. I served it over rice rather than adding the rice into the meat and veggie mixture as stated in the recipe.

Yum! I actually added some smoked sausage, leftover ham, and leftover grilled chicken breast. Loved it! Thanks!

Great recipe! Next time I will use chicken broth instead of water, and I used 2 minced garlic cloves instead of powder, as well as 1 tsp creole seasoning, and about 1/2 file powder. Going in the weekly rotation!

We loved this. I added Andouille sausage to make it more authentic and I also added 1 pound of medium uncooked shrimp. I substituted red, orange and yellow peppers for the green one and used 1.5 cups instead of 1/2 cup. It turned out GREAT!!!

This was okay. I was trying to use up some instant rice. This did the trick, but I'm not so much of an instant rice fan.

This was really easy and good. I did make a few small changes. I increased the water to 1 cup, used 2 bags of success boil in bag brown rice (without the bag),5 bun length polish sausages, 3 10oz cans of Rotel dices tomatoes with green chillies, and sauted the onion & green pepper with the polish sausage then drained. Came out great!!

Has quickly become a family favorite. I add 1/2 tsp cumin to it just because we like cumin.

My family and I loved this! Basically stuck to the recipe as given...added black beans and leftover ham because I only had 1/2 lb of smoked sausage. Definitely going into the recipe rotation!

Very good and easy meal!

My family loved this recipe!! It was fast and simple to make. We will be making this dish again. *****

This is the easiest and best tasting Jambalya ever. We serve the homeless once a month and this has become our go to recipe.

I tweaked the list just a bit. I added some chicken breast chunks, upped the hot pepper sauce. Then I added a lime slice and green onions as a garnish. This has become a great meal to have for a quick dinner that everyone in the family loves.

Very good recipe, just enough spice, great combination, and a crowd pleasing entree. The Ortiz Family, North Carolina

great recipe! i used diced tomatoes with green chilies to give it an extra kick. instead of cooking the rice into it, i made rice separately and severed it on top.

Loved this recipe, something different and easy on busy nights. I read the reviews and did add a can of rinsed black beans. Along w/ the can of diced tomatoes, I had a ton of fresh tomatoes from the garden so I chopped one up and threw it in. Very nice dinner w/ crusty bread. Will def make again!

added a little cajun seasoning, its super fast and really good!!!

My church host a dinner each Sunday in Dec for the homeless , was pressed for time and had few ingredient on hand. Used turkey kielbasa, tomatoes with green chilis, added some cheese and topped with leftover fried onions in the can. Quick, inexpensive and tasty

5 stars for ease of preparation 4 stars for taste - overall 4 stars as only kielbasa and no chicken, shrimp etc. Still very good and will make again.

Awesome. Totally awesome, and totally easy!

This was really good and easy. I left out the hot sauce so my kids would eat it.

Thank you for an easy, delicious, and budget-friendly meal!!

Made exactly as written. Thanks for the great recipe. It will go in my recipe box. Quick and easy. Had everything on hand. YUM!

I used Turkey Sweet Italian Sausage and instant brown rice. We really liked this.

absolutely easy and wonderful!

Turned out very tasty, followed the recipe exactly.

Quick, easy and yummy. A keeper.

Very Tasty!! I followed the recipe pretty closely and the results were great. My Husband really likes it and actually requests it. Easy to make and pretty healthy.

My sister and i love the jambalaya. It is so good.

good and fast, I just added some red beans into it and it was perfect

I was not impressed with the instant rice. I was pressed for time and the instant rice didn't soften up so it took longer than expected. I also used Tony Chachere's in place of the seasonings. Left out the sugar completely.

I used chorizo sausage for this. It would be just as nice with Italian sweet sausage, if you wanted something less spicy. Nice and filling on a cold winter night.

yummy! quick and easy

One of my favorites! I've made this several times. I did make minor changes only because its what I had on hand but it has now become the way I make it every time. I used Conecuh Smoked Cajun Sausage and Great Value brand Fire Roasted Tex Mex Style Diced tomatoes. NO hot sauce needed when using these 2 items. Glad I found this recipe! Thanks for sharing Carolyn!

i omited the green peppers and canned tomatoes b/c my husband doesnt like them much...but i added a little bit of salsa and this great seasoning "tony chachere's" creole seasoning... it was great!!

So delicious! A new favorite in our home!

Loved the ease and quickness of preparing this dish. Tasty and full of great flavors.

Excellent dish. So easy to make, and great flavor. I added frozen shrimp, as well as some extra water, which is seemed to need.

i didnt have green peppers ( really would have made this perfect) or canned tomatoes ( i think when i make this again ill use tomato paste i dont like the texture of cooked tomatoes) i added liquid smoke and diced chicken breast also some frozen peas. came out great we all burned our tongues cause we couldnt wait for it to Cool :)
