Step 1

Add celery, onion, garlic, bell peppers, sausage, oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, diced tomatoes, parsley, and vegetable broth into large slow cooker. Stir together.

Step 2

Place lid onto the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours. You want the liquid to be extremely hot and boiling. Stir uncooked rice into pot. Cover with lid and continue to cook on high for another 20-25 minutes. You may have to quickly fluff at the 20 minute and continue cooking another 5 minutes until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 3

Serve hot with additional fresh chopped parsley on top. Enjoy!
