Prep this Jambalaya in ten minutes and cook it low and slow in your trusty slow cooker. This Jambalaya is a crazy delicious dish with andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp with bold spices and veggies. A mouthwatering, simple weeknight dinner option that is perfect for busy days and the crowd! Leftovers are fantastic, too! To store the leftovers, place them in an airtight container and the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the jambalaya in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Or reheat on the stove over medium heat.
To make this flavor-packed Jambalaya, you do not need a lot of work. Simply toss everything together and leave all the work to your slow cooker. Brown the sausage with the onions and peppers before adding them to the slow cooker is extra work, but guarantees to instantly boost the flavor of this Jambalaya. So I recommend not skipping this very simple step.
Make this Jambalaya soon and enjoy a winner dinner that everyone will surely ask for over and over again!
