Our four year-old thought jambalaya was “yucky” because of its name. Now, this is one of his favorite dishes! ;)

I made this yesterday and it was OK. It was too tomatoey and needed salt and more heat. Today when I heated it up, I added a bit of cajun seasoning and Louisiana hot sauce. It was great! Lots of things are better the next day and this is one of them. Yummm!

Great! Doubled the recipe, used fire roasted tomatoes, and added red pepper flakes. Also used turkey sausage which was surprisingly good.

Excellent! I stuck strictly to the recipe and it turned out great. Only problem I had was with the measurement of the trinity, my solution was to match each amount of celery and onion to the amount of one bell pepper. I ended up using three stalks of celery (they seemed smaller than usual) and half of a large onion. If I had put chives on top, it would have looked exactly like the accompanying picture. Used full amount of Cayenne and it was nicely hot. The other spices made it quite tasty. This was the first jambalaya that I’ve made and I found a winner.

It was really flavorful, easy and just the right amount of spice. The only thing I will change next time is cut the cook time after adding rice. The rice was little over cooked for my taste.

Pretty easy and the aroma from my kitchen!!

Turned out amazing! I used all dry spices and herbs and minced garlic from a jar... also used a Cajun sausage (Connecuh) and still could have used a little extra heat if u like it pretty spicy... the whole house loved it, definitely will be making again!

Definitely read the directions before heading to the store to determine fresh from dry ingredients. I used fresh basil instead of dry but it was still good. Just the right amt of heat coming from someone who loves spicy food. I liked the andouille but will try a different sausage next time. The fam loved it so will be making again.
