Only thing I've used from them is the Spaghetti sauce and it's pretty damn good. How do the other jars stack up? Mainly looking at the gumbo and sauce piquante jars. If they're serviceable think I'd rather pay 7 bucks for a jar than tend to making base for a couple hours

I just recently tried the Chili and I was happy with the result for being really easy. Had the 32oz jar, 2 lbs of ground beef, and a can of beans (oh no), and a little extra cayenne to spice it up and it was quite tasty.

I haven't tried the spaghetti sauce yet but that's next one I plan to try.

The stewed chicken one with a grandma on it is my favorite of them. Works equally as well with pork shoulder steaks.

I use this sometimes as a marinade before grilling pork chops & chicken - excellent flavor. Also use a few Tblspn when cooking a pot roast and for red beans . I think it was their first product

I've used the gumbo and very happy with it.

Only complaint is the directions on the bottle. It calls for 4 to 4.5 pounds of cut up chicken. For what the bottle makes, I feel like that is way too much meat. I would cut that in half, especially when you add sausage to it.

I keep a few jars of chicken stew at the camp for easy meals. If you see any Uncle Larry's products around they are solid as well. I really like gumbo for camp meals.

Cajun Power is the most consistently good set of products out there. All of their stuff is classic, high quality stuff.

True story. Last week my 82 year old across the street neighbor came made Cajun Power chicken stew using the jar and a baked chicken form Costco. That was the first time she had tried Cajun Power anything. She couldn't believe how good it was and that it tasted like a classic roux-based chicken stew. She loved it. She came over because the jar made too much for just her and her husband and she was giving away half a pot. Of course I accepted.

Here's a thread from a few years ago. If you read through it, you'll see that some of the products are the same, but with different labels and instructions depending on the label. I'd forgotten that I'd used the etouffee for smothered pork chops until I read the thread again.

I use the vanilla cinnamon sugar for things like French toast. Very good mixture.

I've tried the spaghetti sauce, the sauce picquant, and the shrimp stew and all have been very good. Rouse's in Jefferson Parish seems to carry all 3. Other stores may only have the spaghetti sauce.

FYI - the spaghetti sauce with Teets smoked pork sausage is very good.

Tried that spaghetti one night and it was phenomenal for how little effort it requires

Spaghetti and chicken stew is great.

I also tried the etoufee, it was horrific.

Many have already stated, but ill add. I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've used by them. The garlic sauce is a good add to a lot of things. The chicken or shrimp stew make for a killer easy meal. Sauce piquante with gator meat or shrimp and sausage is good stuff too. Will agree they tend to overstate the ammount of protein needed. I usually cut back a fair bit.

Highly recommend. Keep a few jars in pantry at all times.
