Description
This traditional Cajun rice dish begins with the classic vegetable trinity and can be made with many combinations of meat and/or seafood. It's delicious, hearty, and super easy.
Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
1 onion, chopped (or 1 cup green onion tops)
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red, orange, and yellow sweet mini peppers
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 pound ground beef (or whatever meat and/or seafood you choose)
1 cup of rice
2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama (or salt and pepper to taste)
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a large Dutch oven. Remove from the pot and set aside.

- Add ground meat and brown with the vegetables, continually stirring.
- Add browned sausage, rice, broth, and seasonings, stir together.

Instant Pot Instructions
- Use the saute setting to cook the vegetables and brown the meat.

Notes
Check the jambalaya while it's cooking, and adjust the heat so the rice doesn't scorch the bottom of the pot.
