Really fast and easy to make. Only thing I would change is it needed a bit of salt, but then again I didn't use condensed broth (just regular) and put only one cup of ham, so that may be why.

This was a simple, delisous meal, but it didn't have that wow factor. I think 1\/2 - 1 tsp. Old bay and hot sauce could set this jambalaya over the edge.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/02\/2017 18:17","GUID":"4456EC2A15C84E09BB9C67CA62A2A1F9","MemberId":4262008,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"rwippel","SubmittedDate":"01\/02\/2017 18:17"},{"Comment":"
I made this in a slow cooker and it turned out yummy! I used chicken broth instead of beef broth, and I used chicken and kielbassa for the meats. I also added some creole seasoning. Don't put rice in slow cooker, just serve with rice on the side.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"08\/25\/2016 13:24","GUID":"1d080a6a17264a11bda67706bed895cd","MemberId":2658481,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"pschube","SubmittedDate":"08\/25\/2016 13:23"},{"Comment":"
Good rendition of a Louisiana classic. I also used andouille sausage instead of the ham, which added plenty of salt to the dish as a whole. I put in Cajun seasoning instead of the chili pepper for more authenticity. The family liked it and would eat it again. I think the amount of liquids provided the right amount for the rice--mine was not dry.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"07\/29\/2016 00:53","GUID":"b5434e61f5fb47a09da8fa2729ce240b","MemberId":6993142,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"lshaw@scsk12.org","SubmittedDate":"07\/29\/2016 00:53"},{"Comment":"
This took another full cup of water to get the rice to cook and still was too tomato-y for me. Very sweet and not much else; lacked flavor and needed lots more herbs or salt or something. Probably won't try again.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"05\/03\/2015 01:21","GUID":"a1621cec044644e8b1cca33aab76e20c","MemberId":8112157,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"CydDelve","SubmittedDate":"05\/03\/2015 01:21"},{"Comment":"

This was a really easy meal to fix. All 3 children ate this dish. You can substitute chicken or sausages quite easily for those with shellfish allergies.

I don't eat shrimp, but my husband and sister loved it. My sister asked for the recipe,and my hubby said I can make it again anytime.<\/p>
I didn't use ham. I substituted smoked sausage. Due to the price of shrimp, I only used 1 lb. and added some cubed raw chicken. It appears to be a winner in my family.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"03\/09\/2011 14:18","GUID":"be5d60a2379248f4b27049c6e7457289","MemberId":1482934,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"vallartagal","SubmittedDate":"03\/09\/2011 14:18"},{"Comment":"
