Also good to know: It can be tweaked and customized to fit whichever veggies and herbs you have on hand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pure-g page-content\">\n<section class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-lg-17-24 pure-u-xl-17-24\">\n<div class=\"recipe-single-container\">\n<div class=\"recipe-ingredients\">\n<h2>Ingredients for Sausage Jambalaya<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Meat:<\/strong> We used a trio of pork sausage, cubed cooked chicken and cubed cooked ham for this jambalaya, but you can switch things up depending on what you have on hand, pork- and poultry-wise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peppers and onions:<\/strong> Although the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cajun-holy-trinity\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cajun-holy-trinity\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Holy Trinity<\/a> in jambalaya and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cuisines\/north-american\/cajun\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cuisines\/north-american\/cajun\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Cajun<\/a>-Creole cooking employs celery, onions and bell peppers, we skipped the celery here. Feel free to add it if you wish!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> We didn&#8217;t skip the garlic, however, which lends its bold aromatic notes to the base of this chicken and sausage jambalaya.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned tomatoes:<\/strong> Cajun jambalaya doesn&#8217;t usually include tomatoes, but hey, we took some liberties with this recipe, and you can too. Diced, crushed or fire-roasted tomatoes all work, especially the latter, if you like your jambalaya with a kick. You&#8217;ll want to keep the juices from the can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice:<\/strong> Rice is the main grain in jambalaya. We opted for a cup of uncooked long grain rice, but you could also use wild rice, brown rice or high-protein, low-carb chickpea rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken broth:<\/strong> Broth comes in to infuse the dish with lots of deep flavors and create enough liquid to cook the rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs: <\/strong>A handful of minced fresh parsley and a few teaspoons of dried thyme also boost the flavor profile of this dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Saute the sausage and veggies<\/h3>\n<p>In a heavy skillet, saute the sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic in oil over medium heat until the vegetables are fork-tender and fragrant.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the meat<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Add the cubed chicken and cubed cooked ham to the same skillet, continuing to cook for five minutes, until the meat is heated.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add the remaining ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>Stir in the diced tomatoes, rice, chicken broth, parsley, salt, pepper and thyme.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Bake the jambalaya<\/h3>\n<p>Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Cover and bake it for one hour or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2111275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Sausage-Jambalaya-FT25_3251_EC_0124_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Sausage Jambalaya served in a bowl with fork on the side\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ELLIE CROWLEY FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"recipe-single-container\">\n<h2>Sausage Jambalaya Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Switch up the meat: <\/strong>Instead of small pork sausage links, opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/andouille-sausage-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/andouille-sausage-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Andouille<\/a>, smoked sausage or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/chorizo-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/chorizo-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chorizo<\/a>.

Luckily this recipe makes a lot and easily feeds eight. Leftovers should be guarded carefully\u2014sealed in the fridge or covered in a casserole dish, not left uncovered, for fear of drying out.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does jambalaya last?<\/h3>\n<p>Sealed in containers in the refrigerator, it will last for three to four days, or up to six months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to reheat jambalaya?<\/h3>\n<p>Jambalaya can be reheated in many ways: Pop it in the microwave for a few minutes until warm, heat it in a saucepan on the stove (feel free to add a tablespoon of water to moisten things up) or reheat it in a casserole dish in the oven on low for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Sausage Jambalaya Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2111274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Sausage-Jambalaya-FT25_3251_EC_0124_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Sausage Jambalaya served in two bowls with fork and napkin\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ELLIE CROWLEY FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should jambalaya be wet or dry?<\/h3>\n<p>A Cajun-style jambalaya is on the drier side. However, since this version is filled with tomatoes and leans more Creole, it could be wetter.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I do if my jambalaya is watery?<\/h3>\n<p>If you prefer your jambalaya less moist, even with the stewed tomato chunks, extend your oven time. Some reviewers note that it took longer than an hour for the liquids to absorb. Depending on your oven, you may need to keep cooking for 30 more minutes before it thickens up.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the best jambalaya sides?<\/h3>\n<p>We love to pair jambalaya with a crunchy salad with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/green-goddess-salad-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/green-goddess-salad-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">green goddess dressing<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/old-fashioned-fried-green-tomatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/old-fashioned-fried-green-tomatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fried green tomatoes<\/a> or okra, black-eyed peas, grilled corn on the cob and, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttery-cornbread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttery-cornbread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cornbread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My family has enjoyed this delicious Cajun recipe for many years.
