SLOW-COOKER JAMBALAYA RISOTTO

Slow-Cooker Jambalaya Risotto image

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
