Speedy Jambalaya
Spicy sausage and colorful sweet peppers make this classic Cajun dish look as appetizing as it tastes. It’s impossible to say no to seconds!

We really liked this. It was simple, full of veggies, and tasted yummy! I cut the recipe in half for just my husband and I and it was plenty (we still had leftovers). I used Johnsonville's Cajun Andouille. Even though I used the full amount of hot sauce, it wasn't too spicy. I accidentally bought diced tomatoes with garlic and onions in it, and didn't notice until after I had already cooked up the garlic and onions the recipe calls for. I just put it in anyway and it still tasted quite good! I used 2 bay leaves (I wasn't going to cut 1 in half). We used the black eyed peas, and I wouldn't do the dish without them, they were so good. I'm not sure how much it's a "jambalaya", but delicious!
I made this today and am going to be sure to make it many more times. I did half the recipe as there are only 3 of us. One can of black eyed peas and a 15 oz can of tomatoes along with half the other amounts and it was very tasty.

This is great, even without the black eye peas. I just skipped them, and mixed some cooked rice in so it looked more like jambalaya usually does. Even with these changes this was delicious - especially on a stormy miserable Monday night!
I loved the black eyed peas in this; they were great! There are a TON, though, so if you're not crazy about black eyed peas, I'd used less.
