Had some leftover shrimp and sausage gumbo last night for dinner. Man, that was good!
... well, there's a method to my madness ... I did it because I was using a slow cooker and I didn't really have any oil laying around for a roux and I'm really not familiar with using a roux, so I diced up a half pound of bacon, fried it, kept some of the grease for the roux and kinda' cooked the celery/onions/garlic/bell pepper until soft in the rest of the grease before putting it all in the cooker.
A little unconventional, I know, but I am about 1300 miles north of true 'gumbo country' and I was unsupervised,  .
