(8 pack) Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix, 8.0 oz Box

Simplicity in preparation is why I love this brand. The texture of the rice comes out just right. Tender but done. Spices add flavor to the turkey sausage I cook in it.

This meal is great for nights when you want a quick meal. You only need a few ingredients, the prep time is super quick and the only dishes you'll use is a pot and a chopping board for the veggies and meat. The taste is amazing, it's like you've spent hours working on it when it takes less than an hour to complete, and that includes prep time. We ate it so fast I couldn't even take a photo!

Zatarain's kindly gave me this Family Size Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix for free so that I could review it, and it definitely exceeded expectations. My husband and I agreed that it was so delicious, as well as very easy to prepare. I added some chicken and shrimp to it for protein, which worked great. Our portions were filling, and we even had leftovers for the next day. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an easy and tasty meal that the whole family will enjoy.

I was pleasantly surprised by Zatarains Jambalaya. It is one of those pantry staples that is easy to make but still delivers great flavor. The rice cooks up nicely, the seasoning has just the right amount of Cajun spice without being overwhelming, and it pairs well with chicken, shrimp, or sausage. I love that I can customize it depending on what I have on hand. It makes a hearty, satisfying meal on busy nights and always tastes like comfort food with very little effort.

I was extremely surprised. The rice cooked in 25minutes and was filled with flavor! We added cooked chicken breasts to the rice and it was such a filling meal! It was so easy to make, and convenient for a working family home, so easy that even my husband couldn't mess it up!

I really enjoy the Zatarain's Family Size Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix — it's flavorful, easy to make, and perfect when you need something quick that still tastes good. The seasoning has that classic Zatarain's kick, and the big box makes it great for family meals or leftovers. I'm giving it 4 stars because while it's delicious, it can be a bit salty depending on what you add in, but overall it's a solid pantry staple I love keeping around.

This product was really great! The texture and taste was better than many other brands for this that are packaged, the only reason I didnt give it five stars is because the quality Varys for example I had this a few weeks ago and I thought it was worse than the one I just received. But other than that its great!

I was really impressed with this jambalaya mix! I've tried a lot of boxed rice dinners over the years, and this one is easily one of the best. The family-size box was the perfect amount for our family of four, and we even had enough leftovers for lunch the next day, which is always a bonus. The seasoning had a really authentic flavor that reminded me of homemade jambalaya. It wasn't overly spicy, but it had just the right amount of kick and plenty of flavor throughout the rice. It didn't taste overly processed like some boxed mixes can. My biggest recommendation is to brown your sausage before adding it to the mix. Taking those extra few minutes makes such a difference because the caramelization adds a deeper, richer flavor to the entire dish. I also like to scrape up the browned bits from the pan when adding everything together since it gives the rice even more flavor. The directions were easy to follow, and everything cooked evenly. This is the kind of meal that's perfect for busy weeknights when you want something hearty and satisfying without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I'll definitely be keeping a box or two in my pantry for nights when I need a quick dinner that everyone enjoys. I would absolutely recommend it, especially if you're feeding a family and want something that's flavorful, filling, and easy to make.

The rice was prepared as directed on the box mixed with kielbasa from our local butcher. Rice had decent flavor, mild spice, with flavors reminiscent of southern Louisiana food. I wouldn't by any means say it comes close to food from Louisiana but it is a nice nod to it. Rice was a tiny bit dry, maybe overcooked a little but otherwise good. Would eat it again.

I paired Zatarain's Jambalaya with chicken, and it made a flavorful and filling meal. The rice cooked well, and the Cajun seasoning tasted great. My only complaint is that it was much spicier than expected for a product labeled "mild." Still, it was easy to prepare and filling overall.
