Rice Cooker Sausage Jambalaya

Special thanks to Hamilton Beach for sponsoring this recipe for Rice Cooker Sausage Jambalaya and the opportunity for one lucky winner to receive a Hamilton Beach 4-20 Cup Rice and Hot Cereal Cooker!

Rice Cooker Sausage Jambalaya was cooked using Hamilton Beach's new 4-20 cup rice and hot cereal cooker AD | Mama Harris' KitchenThis time of year seems to roll through so quickly. It seems in just a blink of the eye we went from terribly hot weather and a house full of kids to cooler weather and busy weeknights full of activities. This time of year I love to make recipes that are easy and effortless, like this sausage jambalaya I made in my new Hamilton Beach 4-20 Cup Rice and Hot Cereal Cooker. This thing is seriously amazing, not only does it make traditional white rice, it has a specific setting for brown rice and also for cereals. Mr. Harris loves to make traditional oatmeal, and with this he can set it to come on in the morning and it does all the cooking for us! It also has options for steam cooking and whole grains, as well as a heat/simmer option.

The first thing I thought to make was a warm pot of sausage jambalaya, served with a side of delicious cornbread. Talk about comfort foods, right?

I wanted to keep it simple and it came out delicious. Perfectly seasoned, great texture, and it made quite a bit too. The size of this cooker is great for serving a large crowd like my family, or you can dial it down to smaller servings and it still cooks well. Once it’s done cooking it automatically switches to warm, so your food won’t burn and will stay the perfect temperature until you’re ready to eat!

    My preferred cooking method is the crockpot and I’m always looking for new recipes. Found one. Will be making in the near future and that piece of cornbread on the side looks divine *wink*

    My family loves rice cooked with herbs and onions, at the end I stir in some frozen peas and close the lid for a few minutes. It’s a really filling side dish and can even be a main course on rushed nights if I make a sauce for it.

  29. Debra Guillen says

    I love trying new recipes and the first thing I would cook would be the Rice Cooker Sausage Jambalaya recipe.

  30. Kelly McGrew says

    Honestly I’d love to make jimbalaya!! But for fear of stealing your (great) idea I’d also love to make “fried” rice! Thanks for the chance!

    I’d first make a beef, chicken, and asian vegetables dish. Thanks.

    I would make a big pot of creamy oatmeal, we are finally having cool enough weather for hot cereal!

  42. Tracy | Baking Mischief says

    That is one fancy rice cooker! Love that there’s a simmer option. This jambalaya looks soooooo good, and you really can’t beat the easy factor. I’m definitely going to have to try this one.
