COLLEGE STUDENT JAMBALAYA

Thought this up with a few friends one night when we were craving some home-made food, but too poor and too lazy to get it! As spicy as you dare, hearty, and filling, and not half bad for you. If you're looking for professional grade jambalaya, look somewhere else. If you're looking for an easy to make, hot, filling, and wallet-friendly meal, look no further.
