Wow! This was fantastic!! I followed the recipe except for omitting ham, and adding extra sausage and shrimp, per my families personal preferences! This was seriously good!! My entire family loved it, and it tasted great reheated the next day!! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

This was just okay. I did not use the beef broth....Just doesn't sound good for a shrimp/pork/chicken dish. Needs diced tomato and crushed tomato. Just wish rice wouldn't go to mush so quickly. Basmati is usually a good choice...but even in this it went to mush. And I didn't stir it a lot either.

This was my first attempt at making jambalaya. I was nervous to try one that seemed "simplified", but the list of ingredients wasn't overwhelming, so I gave it a try----and boy am I glad I did! It makes a huge batch, so my husband and I had TONS of leftovers, but my husband ate them all!!! (which says a lot for this recipe, because he doesn't like leftovers!) I think I would add a bit more cajun seasoning...only because we like things pretty spicy, and this was a bit bland for us. Also--I think next time I'll leave out the shrimp to make it more cost efficient.

I have never made Jambalaya before and this turned out great. I used a yellow bell pepper instead of green and left out chicken (none on hand). I also did a little less Cajun seasoning (I'm a lightweight when it comes to spice). I probably did about 1 1/2 tsp. It still had a little kick to it. My husband also really liked it and scraped his plate!!!! Freezing the leftovers to have again next week! So delicious!

Love it! Definitely gets my top approval rating of YUM! Of course I changed a couple things... I cooked the rice separate and just ladeled the soup onto the rice. Instead of salad shrimp I used tiger prawns which I blackened and served on top of the soup. My hubby went bananas for this stuff! YUM!

I've made boxed Jambalaya before so wanted to try making homemade. This is very good and easy! I only had celery so I sauteed that in the bacon grease. I used only beef broth and used minute brown rice. Really tasty! I love all the different kinds of meat in this recipe. Will make it again!
