I made this jambalaya for a party and it was awesome. Everyone raved about how tasty it was and I raved at how wasy it was to prepare. The only thing I did differently was that I added some bay leaves to give it that extra something and it was great. Wonderful recipe!

Terrific! The most difficult part was finding decent andouille sausage.

Yummy, a lot of work, but good!! It needed a little more heat for our taste, so I served it with Tobasco sauce. I bought a shrimp cocktail ring on sale at Vons and added the thawed shrimp in the last minutes of cooking as suggested by others. Thank you for the delicious recipe!!

I love this recipe sooo good! When I have weekend guests I make a ham roast the first night, then throw all the ingredients for this recipe into the roasting pan and stuff it in the fridge for an easy dinner the second night!

I love this recipe! I made it tonight, and although it was a little labor intensive, it was definitely worth it. My boyfriend and I are both native New Orleanians, and we devoured this. I cut the recipe by 2/3, since it's just the two of us. We went back for seconds, and I can't remember the last time I've done that. Congrats on a great recipe!

This was extremely good! I halved the recipe and it was enough for four large portions with no side dishes. I followed the recipe exactly except i didnt have any ham and I added some okra. The spice was just right for us and we added a little Louisiana hot sauce on top. Cooking time was perfect and it was very easy and fast to make. This is my new jambalaya recipe!

Oh yes! I've never made Jambalaya before but I will be making it now. I read a couple of Jambalaya recipes on this site but chose this one because it cooked in the oven once the prep work was done. This dish was so rich...and satisfying! Scaled the recipe by half, had plenty for dinner, 4 lunches, and some in the freezer. Read all the reviews and changed a few things based on the experience and sharing of others. 1. I cooked my rice separately glad I did because the broth was so good. I do think 2 cups of uncooked rice is too much to cook in the dish based on the broth I ended up with. 2. Added one bay leaf. 3. Added one king crab leg from Costco. 4. I did make the seasoning blend and it was great. Only made 1/2 and still have plenty left over for other dishes. 5. I put my chicken thighs in raw and it worked like a champ. I did remove the skin and bones after they cooked. 6. Used ½ butter and olive oil for the sautéing of the veggies. 7. I added raw shrimp along with their "broth" during the last 15 minutes of cooking so they would be tender. 8. I think the most important thing was that I sautéed the tomato paste for a while. It must act as a roux. The only thing I may do differently next time is to sauté the sausage to render some of the fat. Mine was slightly greasy and I to de-fat, however it was tasty fat. Great recipe Joslyn H. and thank you!

Excellent recipe! congrats! I only made two important changes in this recipe #1 chicken broth: reduce to 3 1/2 cups of broth because I assume it was to much water in the canned tomatoes and, # 2 shrimps: fresh shrimps added unfrozen and cleaned at the last 20-25 mins. of the baking time. I double the recipe for 32 portions and actually served about 48, together with caesar salad and french bread with a cajun cake as dessert.

This recipe turned out even better than I had hoped. I can’t comment on the cost of it because all the items it called for I had in my freezer. I’m not sure how the rice issues some are having are the recipes fault. Rice rarely cooks the same way twice, is dependent upon the weather and the mush quality is because it’s overdone not due to the amount of stock used. I did note the issue however and cooked my rice on the stove until it doubled (doubled NOT cooked) then cooked added everything else as called for except the shrimp which I saved until the last 10 minutes. I didn’t bother with the tight foil on top, just used the roasting lid. I upped the oven temp to 375 and it was perfect in an hour. Also all meats were raw when they went in and were perfectly cooked at the end.

I loved this. I cut back on chicken stock, only used 1 can of tomatos, skipped the shrimp and chicken and baked in a3 qt. casserole dish. Delicious!

The rice seemed a bit mushy. I think it should call for a little less water or maybe I overcooked it. I would cook it for an hour only. Overall this was good, not great. I felt it could of use more spices. It needed more umpf!

I didn't actually did not cook it in the oven because I was afraid the rice would not be cooked. But luckily, I had a rice cooker and I added the rice afterwards. I also used a Creole Seasoning Blend that I purchased. It tasted great nonetheless.

very good jambalaya! I never have all the meats needed and it always works no matter what I use. I've even added imitation crab instead of shrimp and it worked well. I also cook this dish in a large skillet on the stove instead of in the oven. Might want to give this a try if you are having problems with the rice consistency. I also use a store-bought cajun seasoning instead of making the creole blend. Delicious!

The taste was wonderful, but I found that the rice was too mushy by the time the Jambalaya was done. Next time I make this, I will cook the rice separately and stir in at the end.

Greetings all! :-) Thank you for trying my recipe, and for your reviews. Some have commented on the rice being under cooked or mushy and I'd like to address that issue. Unfortunately, oven temperatures very dramatically and not everyone has the same type of cookware. For my old oven, and the very large enameled roaster pan I use, the rice did cook correctly. I recently purchased a new gas stove and nothing seems to cook the same (wish I had my old stove back...LOL). I find it now takes closer to 2 hours in my new oven. With this in mind, I suggest checking the rice more often during the baking time, and adjusting the cooking time and/or temperature to suit your oven and cookware. And if you cut the recipe amounts by half, please remember to adjust the cooking time too. Traditionally Jambalaya has more of a porridge consistency; therefore the rice will absorb most of the juices. If you prefer fluffy rice, surely you can cook the rice separately. If you like a soupy consistency, you can certainly use less rice.
