How to Make Northern Jambalaya

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 10.75 oz (1 can) cream of chicken soup, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1 cup long-grain white rice.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb kielbasa sausage, breaking the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour the rice mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Add the browned meat and vegetables; stir to combine.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
