Ingredients
- 8 ounces Zatarain's Jambalaya
- 2 cups water
- 14 ounces Andouille sausage undrained
- 10 ounce can Rotel
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
Instructions
- Add water, box of Zatarain's and can of Rotel with juices to a stock pot and stir. Begin to heat while prepping other ingredients.
- Chop green pepper and slice sausage. Add to pot and stir.
- Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then turn down to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until rice is tender.
Notes
- Coins of sausage may be browned in a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil, but I typically skip this step in this recipe.
- Green peppers work better than red, yellow or orange peppers which are sweeter.
- Do not drain can of Rotel, the rice will absorb the juices as it cooks.
- Smoked sausage and white rice can be used to decrease the spiciness of the meal for more mild palates.
