Finely chop the cajun trinity (onions, bell peppers celery) and garlic
De-seed and chop the jalapenos
Debone and trim fat off the pork chops and chicken. Chop both into small pieces
Split the andouille sausage links and chop into ~1/2” thick pieces
Chunk Velveeta into 2" cubes, and optionally soften cream cheese (don't worry about melting it - that doesn't take to long, just let it sit out while starting the cook process)
Heat up a LARGE stock pot on the stove
Put the trinity in the pot, and sweat it (until liquid is released, and onions are starting to brown)
Add chicken & pork, and begin to brown
Once chicken and pork are browned, season heavily with Cajun 2 Step, add jalapenos, RO*TEL and garlic
Add worstershire sauce (to taste). Optionally add some Louisiana hot sauce here, to taste, as well (and/or serve it with the Louisiana hot sauce - let people make it as hot as they like while they eat).
Add Andouille sausage, and sweat down until browned
Add broth and bring to a slight boil
Put in Velveeta and cream cheese
Heat (and periodically stir) until Velveeta and cream cheese are melted into the mixture
add uncooked pasta, using care to mix it in to avoid clumping
Cover for 30 minutes –and as the guy on youtube says - no peeking.
serve
