Notes
I just used plain ground sausage. If you don’t want a lot of spice this is a good option. The cajun andouille sausage will be spicier. If you’re still nervous about spice leave out the cayenne pepper.
This recipe can be gluten free. Use gluten free worcestershire sauce.
You may be tempted to just use plain diced tomatoes instead of fire roasted tomatoes. The fire roasted tomatoes give the jambalaya so much flavor. I wouldn’t skip them!
I used my Ninja Auto-iQ 6 Quart Slow Cooker.*
