Jambalya is a quick and easy one dish rice skillet
dinner that the kids all love. A great one pot meal.
If you have a cast iron
chicken fryer with a lid even better. The second recipe is Red Beans and Rice.
You can make the red beans from dry beans or use a couple cans of drained red
beans to speed things up.
My Easy Jambalya
Cut 1/4 lb raw bacon with scissors into a heavy skillet, brown the bacon pieces. Remove them, then brown 1 chopped onion and 1/2 clove grated garlic in the bacon fat.
Into this stir 1 tsp flour, then add 2 large tomatoes chopped or 1/2 can tomatoes. To this add any desired amount of chopped shrimp, chopped chicken, chopped ham, or any chopped leftovers or all of them!
Mix together. Pour in 1 1/2 cup boiling water. Cover kettle and let simmer 15 minutes. Add 1 cup white rice, cover kettle and let rice simmer without stirring until done about 25 minutes. Season with 1 tsp celery salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, then stir in your bacon bits. Easy!
