SLOW-COOKED HEARTY JAMBALAYA



Slow-Cooked Hearty Jambalaya image

I love anything with Cajun spices, so I came up with this slow-cooker jambalaya that's just as good as that served in restaurants. If you can't find Andouille sausage, hot links, smoked sausage or chorizo will also work. I like to serve it with warm cornbread and garnished with sliced green onions. -Jennifer Fulk, Moreno Valley, California
