This is just a touch of New Orleans cuisine, zesty and flavorful! Plus it has the ease of being made in a slow cooker.

This recipe was very good. The only thing that I wasn't pleased with was the rice was too mushy...maybe next time put the rice in a three hours later into the cooking. I also had to add a some water toward the last of the cooking time. Read More

This recipe was not good. They should have named it Mushy Rice Jambalaya. Not only that but the flavor was odd. I would suggest to omit the whole cloves. True it smelled so nice when it was cooking but we sat down to eat it and I hated it! Don't waste your time with this recipe it's an insult to Jambalaya. Read More

Definitely wallpaper paste once it's cooked in the slow cooker for that long. I wasted on buying the stuff to try this recipe and to top it all off I had my parents over to try it as well. It's a big joke now between all of us. Read More

This recipe was quite awful. I'm used to jambalaya having a nice spicy heat. This was mushy with an unpleasant flavor. It was nice to prepare in a slow cooker however the end result is quite poor. Read More

This recipe was O.K. I had to add water to it and the rice turned out a bit mushy but my husband liked it O.K. I modified the recipe and added a dash of Tabasco cayenne pepper and a bay leaf so the taste was not bad. I would try this recipe again only I would leave the rice out cook all day THEN add cooked rice during the last 45 minutes perhaps? Read More
