My husband I like to vist LA during Mardi Gras season, but didn't make it there this year. I wanted to make a NOLA style dish for celebrating Mardi Gras at home and came apon this recipe. I add a pound of Andouille Sausage (slliced). I bought the minute rice by accident, so I reduced the water (which by the way cut down on the cooking time).

My family went crazy for this dish. Unlike the traditional Jambalya, this is a healthy dish. I have made it many times since Mardi Gras and my family enjoys it every time.

We made this for Fat Tuesday! Just delicious~left out the mushrooms because of my son-in-law's dislike and we added shrimp! So good-everyone loved it!

This was one of the first recipes I tried from the Taste of Home Cookbook and it was so delicious.

Usually when I try a recipe for the first time, I'll make notes for adjustments to it for the next try. This recipe needs no adjustment, it's savory and delicious as it is.

The leftovers will probably be really killer good tomorrow! Good noms.

I made this last night to get a jump start on mardi gras. Very tasty and a crowd pleaser. I did add cajun andouille sausage and some hot spices and didn't see any reason to drain the tomatoes. I thought the extra liquid was good for it. Thanks for the recipe

I fixed this for a MardiGras party we went to today. It was a hit.

I made this for a teacher luncheon at my daughter's school. The theme was Mardi Gras. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't put the cheese on top. It was delicious! Everyone couldn't stop talking about how much they liked it. I will definitely make it again!

This is a favorite of mine. I don't use the mushrooms and I add creole seasoning or cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. I also use grated parmesan cheese or shredded cheddar instead. Also good served as a filling for tacos with diced tomatoes and avocados.

I made this recipe twice. The first time I follwed the directions as published and found the dish to be lacking punch. I would rate it average. I made it again and added red pepper flakes, smoked sausage and cooked shrimp. Very tasty now this is a recipe I will make over and over again.
