I lived in Baton Rouge for a year and really loved the culture and delicious food. My brother, Kyong, would take me out to eat often and Jambalaya was always a favorite. This is a modified recipe from Bully's Best Bites. Conecuh is the best brand of sausage-- the same kind my Dad would grill. It's not a really fatty and thick sausage. It's perfect. I usually half this batch
1 lb white rice or long grain (I use Jasmin)
1 lb Conecuh sausage
4 ck'n breasts (2 lb) cooked and chopped
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1-10.5 oz can beef bouillon soup
1-10.5 oz can French onion soup
1 stick butter
1-1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
Cajun Seasoning (we love Tony Chachere's)
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all ingredients together (except seasoning) in 2 qt. oblong greased casserole dish. If you are halving the recipe, you can use a smaller dish. Sprinkle seasoning generously on top and stir.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1/5 hours covered. Stir every 15 minutes.
**May substitute sausage or chicken with shrimp. I use all three by decreasing to 2 chicken breast and adding 1 lb shrimp
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
