A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

The only change I made was to cook some andouille and use that instead of the smoked sausage. After 5 hours it was almost done so I turned it to low and let it cook another hour and then it was good.
