During chilly months, I fix this jambalaya at least once a month. It’s so easy…just chop the vegetables, dump everything in the slow cooker and forget it! Even my sons, who are picky about spicy things, like this dish.—Cindi Coss, Coppell, Texas

making this again tonight. I thought it was good, not amazing but good. My bf on the other hand really really liked it. Guess it depends on what kind of taste you have

This is so flavorful and yummy. I love that it has a bit of spice and great texture. I didn't need to change anything, including the cook time, which is amazing in itself! I make this frequently!

This was an amazing crock pot recipe! I added 1 lb of shrimp and a lb of cut up tilapia! The fish was my favorite! I think I will try chicken thighs instead of breast next time though. Definitely a keeper!

This gets 5 stars for the ease of preparation and taste. I used less heat but that is a personal preference. Just dump it in and you're done!

This has become a staple in our house! I've made it with Chirzo sausage, so good and gives that extra spice!
