  4. I made this for dinner tonight, and we thought it was pretty tasty. It did dry out considerably, and even burned a bit after a little over three hours. I added some broth( maybe a cup or so?) and that seemed to solve the dryness problem. Also, for personal preference, I only added half the amount of chili powder and Cayenne. It was still plenty zippy!

  5. I made this Loaded Jambalaya in the Crock Pot yesterday. I found the 2 cups of rice was way to much and I made it just like the recipe. I would next time use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. The seasoning were just right for our taste buds.

    • The rice can definitely be adjusted to suit your tastes, as well as the amount of liquid you use. We like a thick soup/stew, but others may not as you have indicated. That's the beauty of a recipe like this; you make it once and if you love the flavor (as you say you did), you can just adjust other ingredients to your liking.
