First, I am from South Louisiana, about 10 minutes from the coast, and I DO know good Cajun food. This caught my eye because there was no tomatoes in it. I combined this with Bubba's Jambalaya from this sight. First I used cast iron skillets to cook the meat, which will give it a blackened look and taste to it. I cooked maple pepper bacon, (6 strips) crumpled it up, drained the grease. Then I cooked a link of sliced hot sausage in the same pot. I cubed a turkey ham (boneless) because it looked like the rice would be a lot and we have meat lovers around here. I followed the recipe except for adding 1 tsp. cayenne, 1 tsp paprika, and ommitted the salt and pepper and used Tony Cachere's Creole Seasoning (a staple in South Louisiana) If you can't get Tony's, Slap Ya Mama is a great second . I probably used a good 2 tablespoons of Tony's shaking it in the pot before the rice was to cook. I also used brown rice because that is healthier.
