Recipe: Crockpot Jambalya
I don’t know about you, but I like recipes that you can throw in a crock pot, let cook all day, and are practically ready when you come home from work. Here’s a good, quick recipe I received from a friend that I thought I’d pass along.
Crock Pot Jambalya
1 – 14 oz. can DelMonte diced tomatoes (not drained)
1 – 14 oz. can DelMonte diced tomatoes with garlic & herbs (not drained)
1 – lrg. green bell pepper (chopped lrg.- approx. ¾”)
1 ½ - lrg white onion (chopped lrg. – approx. ¾”)
3 – med. celery ribs (chopped lrg. – approx. ¾”)
3 – cloves garlic (chopped sm.)
1 – tsp. dried or fresh thyme leaves (chopped sm.)
½ - tsp. salt
½ - tsp. pepper
½ - tsp. “Tabasco Green” hot sauce
2 – Tbl. fresh parsley (chopped sm.)
2 – 8” smoked sausage (sliced ¾”)
2 – boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced ¾” pieces)
1 – lb. med. shrimp (raw, peeled, deveined & cut in half)
1 – 3 ½ qt. or larger slow cooker
Combine all ingredients EXCEPT shrimp and parsley. Add cans of tomatoes to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hrs. or until tender. Combine with shrimp, cover and cook another 20 minutes or until done. Stir in parsley. Serve over rice with a bottle of Green Tabasco on the table.
Serves 4 – 6
Enjoy!

Sharon:
No you sure don’t. If you like another brand, or something similar, I’d just use that.
Enjoy it!

barb, that sounds great. i’ll probably get hunts or something similar? do you recommend hunts? -do you think the texture of hunts is the same as del monte? Sharon

Sharon:
I’m not an expert on the texture, but I’m sure that would work fine.
Thanks!
