Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 cups water

  • ¾ pound smoked sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced

  • 1 ½ cups cubed cooked chicken

  • 2 cups sliced okra

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour to form a thick paste until smooth, about 3 minutes.

  2. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the flour turns a dark reddish-brown roux, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  3. Pour water into a slow cooker.

  4. Stir in the roux, sausage, chicken, okra, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  5. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours.

  6. Skim off fat with a spoon.
