Couzan Billy`s Jambalaya

From the kitchen of Kevin Taylor, the BBQ GuruI know there are many Jamba recipes out there. This one is unique in that you throw everything into the pot and cook. No making a roux, no browning the meat, no cooking the rice. It is ideal for doing on the grill. Matter of fact, I cook this for Friday night supper at the cook-offs! This recipe I adapted from one given to me by my good friend Bill Conklin�Couzan Bill, a real Cajun!1 pound converted rice, uncooked
1 can French onion soup
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 pound butter, cut into pieces
1 cup onions, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, minced
1 small green pepper, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crab boil
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons Tabasco
1 pound smoked sausage
1 pound crawfish tails (or shrimp)
3 pieces chicken breasts, cubed
2 to 3 cups chicken stockPreheat oven to 350 degrees F or simply place pot on the grill.Combine everything in a 5-quart ovenproof pot. Start with 2 cups of chicken stock. Mix well. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours or longer.You may add more chicken stock based on the consistency you want.Stir before serving. Keeps well.
