This is not a traditional jambalaya but definitely worth making! If you want something to satisfy that tomato flavor and very quick and easy this is a great dish! My 19 yr old son actually found this and made it for dinner for us one night.... I loved it! Especially the part where he made dinner! I have made this several times since and is a great go to meal!
