Sausage Jambalaya

Recipe From: HEB
Blake discovered a Cajun Meat Market - Herbert's on Dairy Ashford. He brought home jalapeno sausage, a stuffed whole chicken (de-boned) and stuffed jalapenos. We ate well for a few days. The sausage was great in the jambalaya.

Ingredients:
1 link smoked sausage (thinly sliced)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup celery (chopped)
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
1 pkg Zatarain's Jambalaya Dinner Mix (original flavor)
1 cup frozen corn

Heat oil in a skillet and saute onion, celery and sausage for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in jambalaya mix. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and add frozen corn. Let stand until corn is cooked in. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
