Slow-Cooker Jambalaya Risotto

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 2 hours YIELD: 6 servings.
I love risotto, but I don't always love the time and stirring it takes to get the creamy goodness. I found a slow-cooker risotto recipe and thought it was too good to be true. I decided to adapt a jambalaya recipe for this dish. —Angela Westra, Cambridge, Massachusetts
