For a smokier flavor, consider using smoked paprika in place of some of the chili powder. If you don't have a ham bone, you can substitute with 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth for added moisture and flavor. Serve over white rice or enjoy on its own. For a thicker gumbo, mash some of the black beans before adding them to the slow cooker.

Mar 15, 2025I found the coconut milk made it a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I might try using half coconut milk and half chicken broth.
