Jambalaya

PLEASE PIN ME!

I’m always looking for dishes that would do well in my seasoned dutch oven ( see Camp Cooking Equipment You’ll Love).  To be a good camping recipe, it also needs to be easy.  Often, we don’t start coals until the sun sets and it cools down, which means I’m combining ingredients in the dark.  For our past camping trip, I thought I would try to simplify our jambalaya recipe for use in our dutch oven.  Please don’t think you need to go camping to use this recipe!  I use my dutch oven all of the time in my oven at home and on our fire pit in the backyard.
