Once, when the grandchildren were visiting, the oldest one told us that Mommy fixed sausage jambalaya with a boxed mix, and they really liked it. So, I purchased a box of Zatarain's Original Jambalaya Mix, played with the ingredients, and came up with this great dish. It's quick, easy, spicy (not unbearably so) and delicious. The grandkids like to put sour cream on theirs, but we prefer it as is.
