This jambalaya comes together in one pot, building layers of flavor as you go. The key is to brown the meats first, then use the same pot to cook the vegetables and rice, allowing all those delicious flavors to meld together. Don't worry about getting everything perfect - jambalaya is a rustic dish that welcomes adaptation.
For a milder version, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce. If you prefer a spicier jambalaya, add a diced jalapeño with the bell pepper or increase the hot sauce. Leftover jambalaya can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
