Easy Jambalaya (Crockpot)
Another easy crockpot meal for your recipe files. Chicken and kielbasa (or smoked sausage) with rice and a few other ingredients
make this a no-fuss meal for anytime. You know I love my crockpot so when I was planning my menu for the week I had a craving for Jambalaya but wanted to use the crockpot as it has been crazy busy lately. I wasn’t disappointed with the slow cooking process of this dish, it smelled wonderful as I walked in the door in time to add the rice and get some rolls ready to make for dinner.
