Texas Jambalaya

Used this as the starting idea. Just took what I had in the fridge. Ham, sausage grilled, cob corn, red peppers, rice black beans. Stewed it all together the same way.

It took me two nights to make this because I wanted to make it as close to the recipe as possible. I thought I had everything before I started but found out half way through that I only had enough powdered bullion to make one cup and I was making the recipe X-4. I subbed the rest of the bullion with one C vegetable and two C beef bullion. I am certain that it would have been perfect as per the recipe but this was awesome. This is a go to, flavorful and filling meal that is excellent for a bunch of guys that have been working hard all day, or even a family sit down after a long day at the office, job site, or school. I would recommend this recipe for anyone who love a good heart warming meal.

I tweaked this recipe quite a bit to accommodate what I had on hand. I used beef sausage with no casing, no ham, and only one can of Rotel. I also used beef broth instead of chicken, orange pepper instead of green, and Mahatma yellow rice. The rest was exactly the same as the recipe suggested. It was very colorful, tasty and hearty. Will definitely make this again and glad I found the recipe.

I did not have green pepper or celery each time I made this, 3 times. But, I had everything else and one time I used H EB hatch Chile sausage and I had some left over Chicken ticklers, which has a jalapeno with a chicken breast wrapped around it and bacon wrapped around that I just diced all the leftovers and added either HEB jalapeno or hatch sausage. I used 2 cans of Ranch Style beans, 1 can of spicy Rotel and one can of diced green chilis. I added one package of jambalaya rice and seasoning with one cup of rice and 1.5 cups chicken broth. Yeah lots of tweaks here and there but an awesome base! We love it and it's in my favorite recipes. Serve with cheese biscuits or cornbread
