How to Make All American Jambalaya
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1 chopped green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Drain the 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes, reserving the juice. Add enough water to the reserved juice to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Add the 1 1/2 cups of tomato liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of long-grain white rice.
- Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. (Cooking time may vary depending on your stove and rice type.)
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
