Slow Cooker Gumbo
Gumbo is an intoxicating stew made with meat, vegetables and/or seafood simmered together in a sauce or gravy. For added thickness and body, one or more of three primary thickeners – okra, file powder or roux can be added as thickeners to thicken gumbo’s rich texture.
To create this slow cooker gumbo recipe, you’ll need chicken broth, tomatoes, sliced andouille sausage (or kielbasa), onions, bell peppers, celery stalks, garlic, parsley leaves and salt as well as black and cayenne pepper for seasoning. A roux (made by mixing oil and flour in a skillet) provides additional depth of flavor in this dish.
Tony’s Creole Gumbo Base Mix can save time and effort when making this healthy crockpot gumbo recipe, but feel free to use your preferred seasoning. In fact, for an even simpler approach just dump all the ingredients directly into your slow cooker without using a roux for “dump and go.” It will taste even better after sitting for 24 hours!
Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken

Shallots bring mild sweet onion flavor, making this recipe perfect. If you don’t have any, simply swap in an equal amount of sweet yellow onions instead. Sun-dried tomatoes bring rich texture and color while fresh spinach wilts perfectly under the slow cooker heat.

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator up to three days and can be heated back up either using microwave heating or by stove top heating until fully warmed through if necessary; when heating from frozen food be sure to allow enough time for it to defrost overnight before proceeding with heating process.
