REMOVE LID WHEN RICE IS DONE and let rest 10 minutes before serving.



This recipe is for 100. I bumped these quantities just a little because I was guessing on feeding about 120. I then had my wife make a walmart run for some zataran's jambalaya boxes and extra sausage to make up the difference of the extra 30.
 
I spice it up a ton myself....cooking for crowds means trying to please a crowd.

I only cook with warm beer. Cold beer is to be inhaled.
 
It was mighty fine....

If you stand next to McKaidy long enough she puts her plate down. Score. :D

No. You add the rice raw and keep adding stock or water until it can't absorb anymore liquid.
