Jake’s Friendly Jambalaya 🍚🌶️
Creamy, comforting and friendly—with a little kick!
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- Salt, for cooking the rice
- 1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- Kubasa or your favourite sausage, sliced or cubed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp cooking oil, if needed
- 2 tsp Jake’s Friendly Cajun seasoning, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Frank’s hot sauce—add more if you like it hot!
Directions
1. Cook the rice according to the package directions, adding salt to the water.
2. In a large skillet, brown the sausage. If using raw sausage, cook it fully. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add oil if needed, then sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened.
4. Add the red pepper and cook for a few more minutes.
5. Stir in the cooked rice, drained and rinsed beans, sausage and condensed mushroom soup. Use the soup straight from the can.
6. Add Jake’s Friendly Cajun, cumin, Worcestershire sauce and Frank’s hot sauce. Stir well.
7. Heat gently until everything is hot, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if you prefer a looser consistency.
8. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Like a little more heat? Give Frank another invitation! 🌶️
Friendly by name. Feisty by the forkful. 😉
