Haha! Do you like that title? LOL I make this "jambalaya" dish for dinner when I'm brain dead. It’s not what I would consider to be traditional jambalaya, but it’s tasty none the less. I like it because it's easy, fast, and I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. 
Ingredients:
-1 package of Zatarain’s Jambalaya Rice (there is a spicy & a regular version & both are great, so it’s up to you)
-1lb of smoked kielbasa/sausage thinly sliced
-can of peas, drained
-can of black beans, rinsed and drained
Directions:
- Cook the rice according to the directions on the box (Easy, right?)
- While the rice is cooking, slice the kielbasa/sausage and brown in a frying pan. The meat is smoked, so it’s all the way cooked when you purchase it, but I like to put it in the frying pan so that it has nice and crispy edges. Depending on your pan, you might need to drizzle a little bit of EVOO, but if you use a cast iron skillet you can skip this.
- When the rice is done, add the meat, peas, and black beans.
- Stir and Serve!
See that wasn’t hard at all, and it only takes a few ingredients and very little time! So instead of slaving away in the kitchen after a long day, go snuggle up with your hubby and catch up!
This recipe has a lot of room for personal substitutions. If you try this out, and make some changes, please let me know so that I can try it too!
