Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix, 8.0 oz Box

My late mom got me hooked on this stuff years ago and I still make it at least once a year. It’s easy to cook and always turns out good. I like to add sausage to it and it comes out really flavorful. It’s one of those simple meals that just hits every time.

I've been using Zatarain's Jambalaya mix for years and the flavor is wonderful. It's a little spicy but not over the top hot. I usually add cooked beef sausage, stewed tomatoes and corn and adjust the water down a 1/4 cup. You can add pretty much what you want. It's versatile so make it your own recipe.

I always keep several boxes of this Jambalaya in the pantry. I like it best with Hot sausage. Add a little salad and some sourdough bread and you have a tasty meal. it's seasoned perfectly and comes out right every time. I love anything ZATARAIN'S.

Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix offers a bold, authentic taste with a well-balanced, savory tone that makes every meal satisfying. Its tender, fluffy texture and vibrant golden-brown appearance appeal to the eyes as well as the nose. Quick and easy to prepare with minimal prep, it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The wholesome ingredients give a light, palate cleansing feel, making it a family-friendly, crowd-pleasing option that’s convenient, versatile, and ideal for everyday meals or casual gatherings.

This has been my 12 year old granddaughter's favorite for several years now. She likes it with shredded cheddar cheese added to it and calls it cheesey rice!

of course it's not from scratch, but its close enough for perfect for our family and sometimes you just don't have time to do it from scratch. Just remember to add the shrimp right before you serve your Jambalaya or it will be tuff.

When I'm on a "cheat day" (carbs) THIS is one of my "go to" cheat meal. And, for those who can consume carbs with no adverse affects, THIS is a EXCELLENT, economical treat (imo). For starters, I'll pick up: Hillshire Farm Cajun Style Andouille Smoked Sausage Rope (or any type of cajun style sausage of your choice). Heck, you don't even need to use "cajun sausage", you can use any type of "rope sausage" from Hillshire (even though they are pulling a "shrink flation"...shame on them.). Anyways, you cook like the instructions say on the box and towards the end, I'll throw in 9on top) some uncooked - or cooked, whatever I have on hand, shrimp. MMMMMM is all I have to say. :)

This has a nice blend of rice and spices for making jambalaya. I add 1/2 cup each of diced onions, green pepper, and celery (holy trinity). I season chicken with a little old bay or creole seasoning and saute it in a little oil before adding it to the mix.

This was so yummy and easy to make too! We added a pound of sausage to the dish, as well as a few other veggies to spruce it up, and it was a hit at dinner. Sometimes I find boxed rice to be too lacking in flavor out comes out super watery, but this was perfect.

I don't know what possessed them to change the formulation of this product, but it is so disgusting that I wouldn't feed it to prisoners! It took me a little while to figure out what is wrong with it. It's the paprika. There's so much in it that you can't taste anything else, and has completely changed the color of this product. I called the company to confirm this. We will not ever buy this product again. In the pictures you can see how vastly different the color is. You might as well just eat the paprika straight out of the jar.
