"I love anything with Cajun spices, so I came up with this slow-cooker jambalaya that’s just as good as that served in restaurants," says Jennifer Fulk from Moreno Valley, California. "If you can’t find Andouille sausage, hot links, smoked sausage or chorizo will also work. I like to serve it with warm cornbread and garnished with sliced green onions."

We enjoyed this recipe. Next time, we'll add some okra and maybe a few more veggies. Also, we served it with red beans and rice, along with bread for dipping. All in all, very tasty. Thanks!

Big hit with my husband. Much better than an old recipe that I had been using. Thank you for some real *comfort* food.

Considering how ridiculously easy this is to make (no browning necessary, just throw it all in the pot), I expected a 4-star recipe, but it really is divine. So much better than another highly rated one I tried from this site a few weeks ago (Forgotten Jambalaya). Can't wait to make it again and will probably spice it up more. Not that spicy at all with just 1 tsp hot sauce.

I was not too excited about this recipe. I thought it was way too spicy which overwhelmed the entire dish.

My husband loved this!! Will make again soon!

So full of flavor! It was wonderful. This dish was fast and easy to make as well as being super yummy :)

We love this Jambalaya! It was a big hit at a recent potluck. I used regular smoked beef sausage and it was delicious. For the shrimp, I just used a package of frozen salad shrimp and it worked out just fine. I love the seasonings in this recipe and it is so easy in the slow cooker! Don't let the lengthy ingredient list discourage you from trying this.

This was my second time preparing this, but it definitely won't be the last. A definite "keeper" recipe!

Very simple to make and worth it. I would make again.

This truly is the best Jambalaya I've ever tasted. Sometimes I add okra if I have it but otherwise I don't mess with it. It is delicious as is.

Sorry, but I must disagree, this recipe is not as good as those served in restaurants, it is sooooo much better!!!! I can't wait to make it again. THANK YOU
