Jambalaya is a Creole dish, inspired by both French and Spanish cuisines.

This slow-cooker version only takes 15 minutes to prep, and the flavors simmer together for hours, making this recipe a must-try for any Cajun food lover.

This jambalaya was a little bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices.

This jambalaya was a little too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
