I picked up a couple of packages of Jambalaya mix. (Rice and seasoning)
I've never made it before. What else do you put in it? Sausage? Chicken? Both?

You can use pieces of smoked sausage, cooked pieces of chicken or pork or beef, or all of the above.
The package doesn't have suggestions?

Isn't Jambalaya sort of a cajun version of a Spanish Paella?
Reckon you can do what ever you want.

There are Cajun and Creole versions, lots of overlap and very flexible.
I have to sign off now.

I'm not sure if they were Cajun or Creole but all the recipes I've seen call for sausage and chicken or sausage and shrimp.....to be safe I'd use all three.
I've never made it but it sounds a lot like dirty rice with different meat and tomatos......I bet it's good.

Mathman, it's King Kooker brand Jambalya mix. I found it at Fleet Farm. I guess it does say to use sausage, chicken, wild game, shrimp etc. I have not made it yet because my wife is recovering from surgery and I want her to be able to try it. I did go pick up red and green bell peppers, andouille sausage, smoked sausage, boneless skinless chicken breasts, mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, peanut oil etc. so I probably should make it today. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
Thanks for the replies!

Used to be a Cajun restaurant on International in Anchorage that served gumbalaya, gumbo poured over a bowl of jambalaya. It was excellent as was everything on the menu.

I don't understand the reason for using a mix. It's such a simple dish.
