“ive made this a maybe 30 times in the past 3 years. Its a hit with everybody who tries it, and ive found when i make a large batch jsut for myself, it freezes and reheats well later in the microwave. Goes great with red lobster biscuits. I also add 5-6 jalepen” — a cook, 5.0★

“Such an easy and filling recipe. I call it White Girl Jambalaya (cause I'm white lol and I'm sure real Creoles can make it 100x better) but this has always been a hit. To make it even easier to cook, don't be afraid to use pre cut or frozen veggies. I als” — a cook, 5.0★
