ingredients
1 cup chicken broth
1 can (14.25 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound Polish sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
directions
Combine broth and tomatoes in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour evenly over bottom of small skillet. Cook over high heat without stirring 3 to 4 minutes or until flour begins to brown. Reduce heat to medium; stir flour about 4 minutes. Stir in oil until smooth. Carefully whisk flour mixture into slow cooker.
Add sausage, onion, bell pepper, celery, carrot, oregano, thyme and ground red pepper to slow cooker. Stir well. Cover and cook on LOW 4 1/2 to 5 hours or until juices are thickened.
About 30 minutes before gumbo is ready to serve, prepare rice. Cook rice in 2 cups boiling water in medium saucepan. Serve gumbo over rice.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I make this almost every week it is so delicious. I do not add carrots and instead of pouring this over rice, I make the rice 10 minutes before this is done then I add the rice into crockpot and stir it in good. Very delicious!

We love this gumbo. So easy to make and the flavors gets really blended wonderfully in the slow cooker. I cook it on low for about 6-7 hours and it isn't overcooked.

MMMM! If you want more authentic gumbo flavor, instead adding browned flour stir in gumbo file just before serving. It will thicken the liquid and add flavor.
