I clipped this recipe out of Southern Living magazine ages ago. The original recipe calls both for chicken and smoked sausage, but I leave the chicken out. If you like it very meaty, you might want to double the smoked sausage.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced (I use turkey smoked sausage)
olive oil
3 cups uncooked long-grain rice
2 cans French onion soup
1 can beef broth
1 can chicken broth
2-3 tsp. Creole or Cajun seasoning
hot sauce
Saute the onion, green pepper and smoked sausage in a bit of olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Stir in the other ingredients. Bake, covered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Give it a stir about 30 minutes into the baking time. Makes 8-10 servings.
Mine was no where near done in 30 minutes, but I think that might have to do with the Walmart brand rice, as I’ve had that problem before with that rice. I pulled the pan out of the oven and brought it to a boil on the stove, then popped it back in for a while longer.
I also used 3 tsp. of the Cajun seasoning, which was a bit much for the little people in the house. They ate it, but complained of the heat. I didn’t use the hot sauce, but my husband added it to his serving. He can take the heat better than the rest of us.
As always, this looks good!
I love jambalaya, but I usually grab a box of Zatarin’s! Thanks for a simple recipe that I can actually do.
Happy Friday! Dropping by from sits. Have a great weekend.

Aw man, now you’ve made me hungry!
I’m always looking for new gluten-free recipes! This one looks promising.
Thanks,

I can’t wait to make this – yum-o!
Jambalaya is so hot and I’m not into sausage that much but this looks like a tasty meal. It may be worth serving if I was entertaining guests, babysitting or working. Actually, it may be a nice thing to feed actors and crew who I work with. I may link to this from my film food blog and send to some filmmaking friends!
i use a rice cooker for perfect rice every time and then sautee all the ingredients and toss together… great website..
Great recipe! I added some tomatoes, black beans and chicken. Turn out amazing 🙂
I was wondering if you could make this in a crockpot. I don’t have a Dutch Oven. Thanks
Kim, I tried this in a crockpot and it didn’t turn out very good. Any oven proof dish with a lid (or cover with foil) should work though.
