Forgotten Jambalaya

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Cook: 4-1/4 hours YIELD: 11 servings.
During chilly times of the year, 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
