Jambalaya

Everyone want this recipe from me so here it is:

2 Tbl. margarine
1 medium onion, diced
1 C green or red pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 lb) Kielbasa sausage, cut into 1/4 in slices
1 C uncooked rice
2 C chicken broth
2 Tbl green pepper sauce (bottled, found by the hot sauces at the store)
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained

Melt margarine in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, green/red pepper, garlic, and sausage slices and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until vegetable are tender, stirring often.

Stir in rice, chicken broth, green pepper sauce, and tomatoes; mix well and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25 minutes, or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally.


(We don't like "spicey" foods so we just use 1 tsp green pepper sauce or 2 Tbl green taco sauce instead. Also, a smoked sausage instead of a Kilebasa sausage will work too. We always get the turkey flavor as that's the Andrew safe one but any flavor will work. I always use a green pepper rather than red just to add more color. And, lastly, I never have chicken broth so I just use chicken bouillon and make my own.)
