Like everyone else already said, you have to brown your meats first, then remove your meat and cook down your onion, bell pepper and garlic.
Browning your meat is the most important step because that's where all of your flavor is going to come from. Make sure you're using a smoked sausage.
It's going to look like you're burning the meats but it will all deglaze when you cook the vegetables and add the liquid.
Kitchen Bouquet, as already stated, will help to brown your jambalaya.

Just to add - This is the basis of many French or Cajun dishes. Grillades and gravy, braised short ribs, braised roast or pork shoulder, etc. The flavor comes from your browning. If you’re not focusing most of your attention on the brown you’re getting and the fond you’re building, the flavor just won’t be there.
You can’t be afraid of a little heat.

Am I the only one that doesn't remove meat? Only thing I take out of the pot is the bacon that gets fried first.

Negative on the kitchen bouquet if you can do it correctly.
