“Thank you, Mike, for the out of this world delicious Jambalaya recipe !!! That second Serrano chili rounded out the flavor/heat making this a home-run!!! Since I upped the recipe to 20 servings, I took your suggestion and added 1 T each of red & green Chal” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this as double recipe for a Mardi Gras party and it got rave reviews. Lots of chopping but well worth it! If you cannot get andouille sausage from the south (like me🙂) I’ve found that North Country andouille is a very close flavor. I’ve tried several othe” — a cook, 5.0★
