Spiced with creole flavors, this Spicy Jambalaya with Sausage is so simple to make homemade!
You know that famous boxed mix that offers a few different Louisiana favorites? Well, I'm not a fan of red beans and rice, but I do love me some Jambalaya! As a matter of fact we all do. Although this isn't necessarily an authentic version, it's one of our favorites. I combined a couple of different recipes to come up with one that would work for us. We don't place shrimp in ours because of Kelsie's allergy, but don't let that stop you from adding it to your own.
This Spicy Jambalaya with Sausage is simple to make, and ready in 30 minutes. No reason now not to enjoy this delicious Cajun favorite any night of the week!

I have yet to find a Cajun dish I didn't like, and my husband went to college in New Orleans, so this is going to be a huge hit at our house! Plus, it's so quick and easy, which is perfect for a busy weeknight. Can't wait to give it a try!
