I have always wanted to make my own jambalaya but have never gotten around to it. After receiving the McCormick seasonings, the day finally came. It was much easier and quicker than I ever thought it would be.
This was a fabulous week night meal. I followed the McCormick recipe and just added some extra fresh red peppers to the skillet. It was easy to stir the skillet occasionally while I checked on my kids doing their homework. A gourmet dinner was ready in an hour!
