For a deeper flavor, consider browning the sausage and chicken in the saucepan before adding them to the slow cooker.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for heat.
If you don't have smoked sausage, andouille sausage is a great substitute.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced tomatoes or corn.
This gumbo tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld together.
