If you can’t make a trip to the Deep South, you can enjoy the flavors with a fabulous and easy homemade jambalaya.

Jambalaya is popular, in part, because it’s a flexible dish that can be made with various meats and vegetables. Southern cooks can put this dish together and have a hearty one-pot meal using various ingredients on hand. The rice makes it a filling dish that goes a long way.

Traditionally, ingredients were from the garden or cellar along with meat that might be fresh caught or bought. For inlanders (or the busy), this jambalaya recipe has some convenience foods like salsa, and the rice used in instant. So, this dinner goes on the table faster than a classic jambalaya.
