    Shortcut Cajun Jambalaya (vegan)

    Vegan Jambalaya just got a whole lot easier with this semi-homemade recipe using Zatarain's Jambalaya Mix. Can you believe that Zatarains's Jambalaya is vegan! And with the addition of plant based sausage you have yourself a delicious shortcut vegan jambalaya.

    Believe me, I love homemade recipes. But as a busy mom of three, I am no snob to semi-homemade. It's so convenient to just open up the cabinet and grab a seasoning packet or a meal kit; then add something fresh to it and voila- you have yourself a meal in no time.

    There are plenty of non-vegan shortcut options like this on the market. So recently, I decided to scout out my local grocery stores to find some vegan semi homemade options. I want to help you shake up dinner on those busy nights where you almost grab- yet another bowl of oats. BORING!

    I was so excited to find that Zatarain's Jambalaya Mix is vegan and believe me- anything but boring. It's so easy to make with directions right on the box. I added Beyond Meat Plant Based Sausage to it and OH MY-is this vegan!? It was that good!

    Zatarain's Jambalya mix, green onions, olive oil, and Beyond Meat Plant Based Sausage.

    This shortcut vegan jambalaya is very customizable. You could add veggies to the mix, like some diced tomatoes or broccoli florets. You could add a can of red beans instead of the sausage for a protein and fiber boost. I garnished it with green onions and Tabasco Hot Sauce.

    We ate the whole pot!

    I hope you find this meal idea helpful! I plan to find many more vegan options like this because they are just so convenient for those super busy weeknights. Let me know what you think.

    Enjoy!
