Great recipe! I am not a fan of Jambalaya but this was the best one I have cooked! There was only one package of andouille sausage at the store if you can believe that. I used some turkey kielbasa to fufill the pound of sausage needed. I am glad I did because the dish was spicy (which is great) but not kid friendly. I didn't use the full amount of cayenne pepper either for this reason. Overall, great dish! Made for ZWT9 July 2013.

I found this recipe a few years ago... it is a winter time staple for us. My husband doesn't like left overs, but he'll eat this one as a left over until it is all gone! Make it with sweet yellow cornbread and white rice! Yummtastic. I do not use the spicey sausage, I use a skinless sausage available in the lunch meat case!
