This is the best Jambalaya I have ever made! I have to triple the recipe whenever I make it. Everyone in my family just loves it--We love the flavoring from all the spices, a perfect combination and so easy to make!

Hey Miss Annie, we loved your jambalaya. Very good mixture of spicy seasonings. Easy preparation and something I would like to make again only next time I will double the recipe so we will have left-overs. Thanks and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to you and your family.

Your so right Miss Annie, we sure did like this one! I doubled the recipe and used long grain converted rice (Uncle Ben's) and increased the garlic amout to 2 tbsp. Great combo of seasonings too, and very easy to throw together. I baked mine in the oven instead of the stove top. This will go into my favorites, it is definately a keeper. Thanks Miss Annie for sharing another winner, we loved it!....Kitten

This recipe had excellent flavor. Just the right amount of heat. The only trouble I had was with the rice getting tender, it never really did. Even after continually adding water and cooking for over 45 minutes. Next time I make this I will add all the ingredients except the rice. I will prepare that seperately and serve this over the cooked rice. Thanks for posting we really enjoyed it.

Delicious. My 17 year old son doesn't like rice, and he asked me to continue to make it. I doubled this, and froze before adding the rice or broth. To serve, I thawed, added rice and broth and heated until the rice was done. Quick, easy, and very good. Thanks

Oh my my my this was sooooooo good!!! I had everything but the tabasco sauce, and I used fresh thyme and basil, but it was delicious anyway. I will definately be making this again. Very easy especially since it is all in one pan.

What a flavorful dish with just the right amount of heat. I first thought that there wasn't going to be enough rice as it looked kind of sparse when I first added the rice but it turned out just right. The dish required a little chopping celery, onion, garlic, green pepper, and chicken) but was easy to put together once the chopping was complete. The one thing I would recommend, is to use a can of crushed or diced tomatoes rather than using canned whole tomatoes which you must crush (save time). I didn't end up having cajun spice (messed up only had Zataran's) so I mixed up one of Zaar's many cajun spice recipes.

Just a comment, since I DO make a decent Jambalaya myself and this is a pretty standard recipe. About the name of the recipe: Anytime you add tomatoes to the Jambalaya it makes it "Creole" rather than Cajun... Note: Try it with brown rice sometime!!
