EASY CROCK POT JAMBALAYA



Easy Crock Pot Jambalaya image

This is my own modified version of the jambalaya recipe at crockpot.com. The ingredient list is long, but it's simple. I have always used instant/minute rice, and it has always cooked just fine. Some reviewers have needed more liquid, perhaps it varies by what type of rice is used.
