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

Whenever I make dinner, it is rare for the whole family to agree on it. I rated this 5 stars because most of us enjoyed it. My hubby loved the shrimp, my mom loved the sausage, and my aunt loved the texture. One of my boys loved it but the other didn't. It had extra kick because I used a can of diced tomatoes w/green chillies. Overall, 4 thumbs up, 1 1/2 thumbs down (1/2 is for my three yr old. Too spicy I think). Great recipe. Next time, I'll add more chicken but I think I'll add it already cooked when I throw in the shrimp.

Family really liked this. We didn't even need the rice!

This was a big hit. Spiced just right. My husband added more hot sauce at the table, but this is great as is. It is definately a new family favorite. I'm going to invite friends over just so we can share this!

Next time I would add more chicken (I used three chicken breast) and less sausage. Everything else was great!

Yes I will make this for my family again. I would add a little more hot sauce. It's a keeper.

I left out the celery and only put 1/2 of the cayenne pepper in, which was just enough heat. Overall, it had an excellent flavor!

i used chicken thighs instead of breasts we like them better and mango chipotle sausage have a nice kick in this jambalaya i did in the crock pot as well and did it for longer so next time i will add the peppers at a later time. added the shrimp the last 15 min and boy they were perfect served with corn bread and a salad.

I have made this many times for just my family, or tripled for a crowd. Always gets rave reviews, easy to adjust for taste and heat. This is easy to make, healthy and filling!

I've made this many times and even made it for a party. I used kielbasa sausage and had the shrimp to add on the side. I loved that the veggies were still crunchy and sometimes the times on slow cooker recipes are too long and the food is cooked too much. This one is right.

Thanks.
