Rice Cooker Sausage Jambalaya – Mama Harris’ Kitchen

Special thanks to Hamilton Beach for sponsoring this rice sausage Jambalaya recipe and the opportunity for one lucky winner to receive a 4-20 cup hot rice pot of rice and cereal from Hamilton Beach!
This time of year seems to pass so quickly. It seems that in the blink of an eye we went from terribly hot weather and a house full of children to cooler weather and busy weekday nights full of activities. This time of year I love making recipes that are easy and effortless, like this sausage jambalaya I made in my new 4-20 cup rice and hot cereal kitchen from Hamilton Beach. This is really amazing, not only does it make traditional white rice, but it has a specific environment for brown rice and also for cereals. Mr. Harris loves to make traditional oatmeal, and with this he can set it up to come in the morning and does all the cooking for us! It also has options for steaming and whole grains, as well as a heat/simmering option.
The first thing I thought I would do was a hot pot of sausage jambalaya, served with a side of delicious cornbread. Talk about comfort foods, right?
This particular jambalaya is made with beef sausage only, but you can also add chicken or shrimp if desired. I wanted to keep it simple and it came out delicious. Perfectly seasoned, great texture, and also did quite a lot. The size of this kitchen is ideal for serving a large crowd like my family, or you can reduce it to smaller portions and still cook well. Once you’re done cooking, it automatically switches to hot, so your food won’t burn and will stay at the perfect temperature until you’re ready to eat.
