Instructions
- Coat a large nonstick pot with nonstick cooking spray and cook the sausage over medium heat, turning constantly, until browned.
- Add the onion, pepper, and garlic, and cook until tender, about 5–7 minutes, stirring continuously. Scrape brown bits from bottom of pan—this adds color to the jambalaya.

- Remove lid, stir in the hot sauce and green onions, and season to taste. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
