What Can I Bring?

Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Serves: 12
Ingredients:
-
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and chile peppers, mild or hot
1 (10 1/2-ounce) can condensed French onion soup
1 (10 1/2-ounce) can condensed beef broth
1 (4-ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into pieces
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken meat, cut into pieces
2 cups uncooked Uncle Ben's converted rice
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large baking dish, combine the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soup, broth, mushrooms, onion and butter. Add the sausage, chicken and rice and stir to combine. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken is done and the rice is tender. (Check it at 30 minutes and add a little water if necessary.)
Notes:
Tip: Far be it from us non-Cajuns to suggest how to make jambalaya, but when we tested this recipe, we added chopped celery (2 ribs), 1 chopped bell pepper, 2 minced cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1 teaspoon ground cayenne, just because.
Andouille sausage is a good choice, but Stephanie Chambers says that any smoked sausage is just fine in this easy recipe. You'll need either a very large baking dish, such as a deep-dish lasagna pan or two 2-quart baking pans to cook it all without fear of spillover.
