Jambalaya and Cornbread

With fall just around the corner, I've been in the mood for more hearty dishes.  And since it was a tad bit chilly for grilling out on Labor Day, I ditched the grill and hovered 'round the stovetop cookin' up jambalaya and cornbread.

Jambalaya
Here's what you need to get the cookin' started:
-6 cups of uncooked white rice
-1 green pepper
-2 roma tomatoes
-1/2 red onion
-1 Hilshire Farms Polska Kielbasa
-20-30 oz Contadina Tomato Sauce*
-1-1.5 tsp cayenne pepper*
-3-4 tsp Perfect Pinch McCormick Carribean Jerk Spice*

*Depending on your sauciness and spiciness preferences

Here's what you do:
-Cook rice based on packaging instructions
-Place cooked rice in a large pot, add chopped green pepper, tomato and onion
-Cut kielbasa into bite-size pieces and stir into rice and veggies
-Add 20 oz tomato sauce, 1 tsp cayenne and 3 tsp jerk spice

Here's how to cook it:
-Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low
-Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring very 5-7 minutes
-Taste test after 15 minutes, and based on your preferences, add additional sauce, cayanne or jerk spice

  1. I love Jambalaya! Such a perfect meal for a cold night. Although I cheat and do mine with chicken andouille sausage sometimes.
