Easy Crock Pot Jambalaya

Growing up we ate a lot of Southern food, which is odd considering we are four generations of living in Los Angeles. You could say we’re Southern…Californian..

I remember my mom making jambalaya all the time when we were kids. Watching her prep all the ingredients, cooking it in a big pot, it seemed to take all day. I don’t have time to stand over a hot stove so I made up a simpler jambalaya recipe for the crock pot. Still the same savory flavors with a whole lot less work.

Jambalaya is still one of my favorite meals. Satisfying and comforting, it will make your weekday woes drift away. Now I just need some beignets…

    i love to use the crockpot and have never had the courage to make jamabalya – thanks for the encouragement to use a cheaters approach and have leftovers for days!

    Yummy! This was the first time I had Jambalaya! Where have I been? And this is the “cheater’s” version? Very hearty … I’m thinking this must be in the category of comfort foods. Didn’t use a slow cooker; just simmered on the stovetop. Onolicious over rice .. and/or with sweet rolls. Thank you!
