Loved this! I doubled the amount of kielbasa and only used 1 bay leaf. DH and I really enjoyed this and will definitely make again!

The only thing we'd do differently is stir in a little something for flavor along with the rice. Cooking all day in the crock mellows the flavors so you need to add something towards the end of cooking time to give it a flavor boost. Even just another dose of steak sauce would work great stirred in with the rice. Everything else worked out fine, the veggies were tender and the rice cooked perfectly.
