Jambalaya is so good....I love
it. I think when you add smoked sausage or kielbasa to a dish it just
flavors the whole thing. I love that stuff. Now if I wasn't living with a
bunch of seafood haters, I would have added some shrimp to this but
since no one likes it except me, I left it out. But if you have a NORMAL
family, then by all means, add some shrimp about the last 30 minutes of
cook time. Anyway...this is some good stuff right here. And making it
your slow cooker makes it easy-peasy. Just throw everything in except
the rice and give it stir or two during cooking! Serving it with some
crusty bread just tops it off.
