Jambalaya

I have been so busy y'all but not too busy to cook up some good meals. This is a flavorful, but not very spicy, jambalaya. I adapted the recipe to fit my tastes so you can too!

Creole Jambalaya
Adapted from Comfort Food cookbook

2 tablespoons of butter
1 large onion, chopped
8 green onion, chopped
3 cups cubed cooked ham
1 pound Cajun-flavored or smoked sausage, sliced
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 cups of cooked rice

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and green onions. If you like green bell pepper or celery you can add that as well. Saute until tender.
Add ham, sausage, and next 4 ingredients. If you like a kick to your food, add some extra cayenne.
Cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Stir in rice; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes over low heat. Serve it up!
