Slow Cooker Crock Pot Gumbo Recipe with Sausage, Chicken, and Shrimp

Last year we took an amazing trip to New Orleans and fell head over heels in love with the food! One of our favorite things we did was take a cooking class to learn how to make jambalaya, gumbo, pralines and so many other amazing dishes. Today’s Slow Cooker Crock Pot Gumbo recipe with Sausage, Chicken and Shrimp is an adaption from everything we learned in class and enjoyed while we were in New Orleans.

Now if only I could figure out how to make a Cafe Du Monde beignet magically appear in my kitchen! Hello yum! Seriously I don’t know what they do to make them sooo good but I could enjoy one right now and love it.

There is just something magical about New Orleans. Ok, parts of it are a bit smelly but that is probably due to all the fun people have on Bourbon St. We skipped partying on Bourbon St. and instead hung out around the French Quarter listening to jazz music, people watching and relaxing. I am so ready to plan another trip to New Orleans soon.
