This was easy and awesome! Made as stated (for 12) and my husband and I finished it - it was 2 (cereal sized) bowls for me and 3 for my husband. I did use 1 can of the diced tomatoes with chilis for a little extra kick and did not add shrimp cuz we had it the night before. This recipe would be great rice too.

It was delicious! I used the recommended 5 cloves of garlic (sliced), a bit more Creole seasoning and right before serving, I used instant 90 second Uncle Ben's white rice (microwaved it first and when ready - added it to the crock pot). I used 2 pouches to soak up some of the sauce. Will definitely make again! Thank you!

Nothing beats good old fashioned, all day cooking Jambalaya. This was alright, but when you've had the real thing there's really no comparison.

Not so good. The chicken and sausage was extremely overcooked being in the crock pot for 8 hours. The flavor was good and I managed to salvage some shrimp. But other than that, I will not make jambalaya in a slow cooker.

This is the BEST thing I have ever made in my crockpot. Dh and children loved it! I made it almost exactly like the recipe except I reduced the cayenne to 1/4 tsp. It was plenty hot! Thankyou for this great recipe!

This is a good base recipe as is or modified based on preferences or available ingredients. I used 2 cups of cooked chicken (left overs from a roasted chicken). I used 2 (14 oz) cans of diced tomatoes (one with chiles) as someone else had mentioned and then only added a dash of cayenne. I added 2x the chicken broth. I added 1.5 cups of rice when I added the shrimp (uncooked instead of cooked) and turned heat to high.

Very tasty, but as other reviewers have said, very watery. I only used 1/2 c broth, but I think next time I would leave that out, and only add it if it looked dry towards the end of the cooking time (like when adding the shrimp). The flavor also seemed a little "flat" - next time I will use 3 tsp Cajun seasoning to see if that resolves the issue (it was plenty spicy, just missed a little "oomph"). I used boneless thighs, as it seems to me that they tend to do better with the longer cooking times required when using the slow cooker; I added uncooked shrimp at 7 hours and turned the heat to warm, and even then, the chicken was a little overdone to my taste (something to do with the texture), so next time will add the shrimp and turn to low at 6 1/2 hours. I used Creole Seasoning (from this site), served the jambalaya over rice, and served Homestead Cornbread (also from this site) alongside, with fresh fruit as the salad. Very nice on a rainy, blustery evening.

We had a family baby shower this weekend and were trying to decide what to feed everyone after church. There were going to be 30 adults to feed. My son said he didn't want it to be a hassle so he bought a $100 worth of chopped beef at the famous TX BBQ place we have here. Well, during the suggesting of what to make I said "how about Jambalaya?" Well the mom to be wasn't really happy on that idea, but I thought I would make a batch for her to taste. It ended up that she didn't get a chance. It sat in my refridgerator for a couple of days. I decided to make some rice and add two pounds of shrimp and if they eat it, they eat it. OMG, they came inside to fix their plates and they went straight to the Jambalaya. I had throw away bowls to serve it in and they went on and on and on about how good it was. My greatest compliment came from my housekeeper who was born and raised in New Orleans. She said it was excellent. This is important for people just taking a taste. Everyone commented on this. When you take the first couple of bites you think it's not seasoned well. Then on that third bite it bites you back and don't know why but your tongue wakes up and your mind and tummy say OMG, this here is some mighty fine vittles. Then you can't get enough. I am so glad that it made enough for everyone to try it. Everyone did too because so much talk was going on about it and the delay to the taste buds. Thanks Colleen. Got anymore great recipes? I'm going look!!

Awesome recipe. I read the reviews and tried to cut the juices down a bit, but it was a still little too juicy. I cut the broth down to between 2/3 and 3/4 cups, and next time I'll cut that down to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and drain one can of the tomatoes (I used 2 14 ounce cans). I also couldn't find the andouille, subbed smoked kielbasa and added a little more cajun and cayenne. Got rave reviews from everyone!

The taste was pretty good, but I would not call this Jambalaya. More like a soup. It was OK ladled over rice, but as I said, not a Jambalaya. And DEFINITELY DO NOT use 1 tsp of cayenne unless you really really like super hot food. I didn't have cayenne and used 1/2 tsp of hot hungarian paprika instead (which isn't even as hot as cayenne) and it was plenty spicy. Don't know if I'll make this again.

Wow, this is really good and super easy. Didn't have celery on hand, but I don't like it much anyway, so I didn't miss it. Other than that, the spices are perfect and everything turned out great. Yay for leftovers the next day! Thanks, Colleen!

Excellent dish! The only things I did different was that I omitted the celery since I dind't have any and instead of a green bell pepper, I used part of a bag of frozen pre chopped mixed peppers since that's all I had. I did notice how it was runny like others mentioned but that was solved as I threw my rice into the slow cooker to cook and it sopped up and thickened the sauce perfectly.

GREAT RECIPE! My only variation is that I used the Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (with green chilies). This added some spice so I eliminated the cayenne pepper. The spiciness was just right for us - it may still be a little too hot for some people.

Very yummy and healthy! I left all day in the crockpot (on low) without any problems. It is soupy, but just use a slotted spoon to get the good stuff out, and then pour a little of the juicy over the rice. Very good!

Very good and spicy! I omitted the celery and bell pepper because my boyfriend doesn't like them, used turkey sausage to make it a little healthier, and added instant brown rice in the last 20 minutes of cook time. Wonderful, thank you!
