Slow Cooker Gumbo

By 8 Comments

Gumbo

This delicious GUMBO takes me back to my New Orleans roots. It was my father’s recipe, and interestingly does not start with a roux, making it a gluten free version.  Prep time is only about 15 minutes, and your home will smell great all day while the Gumbo cooks.

Gumbo File

It’s THAT good…gone before you know it.

It's that good
 *note: this gumbo is not made with a rue, which makes it gluten-free. (if you have a gluten sensitivity, just check the canned stewed tomatoes to make sure they are gluten-free)

If you like cooking with a slow cooker, my braised short rib recipe is super easy (only three ingredients) and it is REALLY good over mashed potatoes as an entree, or as short rib tacos if you have leftovers.
