20 3

 

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, minced

1 medium red onion, chopped

1  stalk celery (or is it one rib?), chopped

2 cups green, red & yellow peppers, chopped

15 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained

14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes (& juices)

9 oz cooked chicken sausage, andouille-style, cut into bite-size pieces*

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1/4 tsp black pepper

6 cups fat free chicken broth

1 cup uncooked converted white rice (I used Uncle Ben’s)

 

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in 5-quart slow cooker. Add thyme and pepper; stir well. Cover and cook on high power for 4 hours.
  2. Maybe I should pack up a batch and send a roux-less-slow-cooker healthy gumbo care package to Emeril? Or better yet, I can hand deliver it to him in New Orleans .
