Adapted from Commander's Kitchen cookbook, this Easy Jambalaya recipe is one of those wonderful dishes where you can switch things up depending on what ingredients you have on hand. For example, you can use any type of sausage or bacon, but I still think the dish would be tasty even if you left the meat out altogether.
