With less hassle than the original, but all of the flavors, this camping mock Jambalaya is a great option for the outdoors. It is colorful, rich in flavor, and has a good mix of protein, vegetables, and starch.
The simplified ingredients such as plain chicken, instead of smoked, make it an easier dish to buy for and cook. The majority of the traditional flavors come from the canned soup, although a good andouille sausage choice also makes a big difference. Bell peppers and onions round out this dish.
Cooked in just one Dutch oven it is truly a one-pot meal. It can easily also be cooked in a stainless saucepan over gas or a campfire. Though rice is mixed into the finished dish, you can also serve it with additional rice or bread to sop up all of the extra sauce.
