One Pot Sausage Jambalaya

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 packages kielbasa or andoullie, sausage, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion roughly diced
  • 1/2- 1 whole bell pepper diced
  • 2 stalks of celery diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 3/4 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups long grain rice
  • 2 8 oz cans of tomato sauce
  • 2 cups chicken broth or stock

Instructions

  • Heat a dutch oven over medium-high heat, and once it’s good and hot, add in the oil and butter. Add in the sausage and allow it to brown a bit on both sides and caramelize. Remove the sausage to a bowl or a plate and set aside.
  • Next reduce the heat to medium/medium-low and add the onion, pepper, celery, and garlic to the sausage drippings in the dutch oven. Sprinkle the dry seasonings (paprika, garlic & onion powder, cumin, Cajun & Italian seasoning) over the veggies. Add the bay leaves and salt & pepper, as desired. Add in the tomato paste and let everything saute for a few minutes.
  • Add in the rice, stirring to make sure it’s evenly incorporated and well coated. Continue sauteing everything until the vegetables are just tender.
  • Add in the chicken broth and the tomato sauce, and return the sausage to the pot. Stir everything together, and salt and pepper again (if needed) to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Turn off the heat, immediately cover the dutch oven with it’s lid, and transfer the dutch oven to an oven preheated to 375 degrees.
  • Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Notes

If you don’t have a Dutch oven, fear not, you can still enjoy this meal at home. Follow steps 1-4 in a large pot or even a skillet. For step 5, transfer everything to a 9×13 casserole dish. Cover tightly with aluminum oil and bake as directed. You may need to add 45-10 minutes to the cook time to allow the rice to absorb all the liquid. Just keep an eye on it after the 30 minute mark.
