Jambalaya makes the best week night dinner and is a great way to use up any leftover meat.
In heavy Dutch oven, cook the bacon. Move the cooked bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel. Drain most of the bacon drippings out, leaving a little in the pot. Cook onion, celery, green peppers and garlic in bacon drippings. Remove it all and add the sausage to brown.
Preheat your oven to 350. Stir rice into onion mixture and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Add in the rest of the other ingredients.
Cover the pot with an oven proof lid and bake for 30-40 min.
