This Creole specialty is a favorite in New Orleans and is traditionally simmered for a long time, making it a natural for the slow cooker. This simplified version makes this classic dish achievable on any given weeknight. Just throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning, let it go to work while you’re at the office, and you’ll be welcomed home by a dish that’s almost ready to serve. Pair it with your favorite salad kit for quick meal. The name “gumbo” is derived from the African word for okra. Okra, along with the flour, helps to thicken the stew.
