Jambalaya

This is a wonderful dinner for those cold nights. It is easy to make and I usually start with a box of Jambalaya mix and add a few other ingredients. Only takes about 30 minutes to be table ready.

I start the  Jambalaya with the box mix because it is easier than trying to season to get it spicy so I let them do the hard work. I pour in the mix with a couple cups of water and let that start boiling. I will cut up the sausage into bit size pieces and put it into the mix. You can use any combination of sausage or sea food you would like. I will usually pick precooked sausage or cook it before I add it to the pot. I then add a can of diced tomatoes, green chilies, black beans and some diced peppers. If this sounds too spicy leave out the green chilies or if it needs more add some jalapenos.

After it comes to a boil you need to simmer the  Jambalaya for about 15 minutes or until the rice is done.

Serve with cornbread or crackers.
