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.
