Southwestern Sausage Gumbo

February 21, 2010 · Posted in Recipes 

 Today’s recipe post is a simple one. On Saturday, my  meal plan is to try something different and new. I have this great Creole rub I wanted to try and I had some Southwestern Sausage on hand that I picked up sale at the grocery store. Tossed in the slow cooker with some vegetables and had a perfect meal for the family. Recipe Note: In future making of this recipe, I’ll try adding chicken, shrimp, potatoes, scallops or crab meat. Introducing each ingredient to the kids one at a time. Leftovers may be frozen for a  future meal.
