Slow Cooker Pseudo Paella image

This is not paella, but it has all of the ingredients of my basic paella recipe and makes for a great wintertime alternative. The slow cooker makes it easy to prepare; adding the rice at the end keeps it from getting overcooked. It is not paella, but it stands up on its own.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my paella didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the rice.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I will use less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It was still really good! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was flavorful.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out great. I usually add a few extra vegetables, like bell peppers and zucchini.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough salt. I will definitely try it again with more seasoning.
