Corn bread makes a nice accompaniment to round out this one-dish, Cajun-inspired meal. Andouille sausage is a bit spicy. If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute regular chicken, turkey, or pork sausage.

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 1/2-ounce) bag boil-in-bag long-grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup prechopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 6 ounces chicken andouille sausage, sliced (such as Amy's)
  • 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

This jambalaya was bland bland bland. I added more seasonings and spice, but it couldn't be saved. I put leftovers in the fridge, but I have a feeling they will wind up in the trash.

Excellent recipe that developed flavor in terms of the refrigerator leftovers. I used boil-in-bag brown rice and loved it. I'll probably just cook the brown rice now that I know the yield of the prepackaged rice. Freezes well for lunches in the office.

This recipe was good...but I agree with some other reviewers that it was lacking a little flavor. The second time I cooked it, I added 1 tsp. of dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. oregano, and about an extra 1/4 tsp. of cajun seasoning. I had the no-salt cajun seasoning, but I think it did need a little salt at the end, so I would add maybe 1/4 or 1/8 tsp. of salt next time. The extra spices really did help the flavor a lot!
