Slow Cooker Chicken Gumbo
Spicy andouille sausage has risen in popularity lately and I had no problem finding it next to the smoked sausage in my Midwestern supermarket. If you have any issues finding it, you can sub in your favorite smoked sausage. Just make sure to add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to compensate for the lower heat factor.
