re: Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Gumbo isn't too hard unless you try to get fancy with it. One pointer is that you will never get it "just right." My wife and friends always tell me it's great, but I always feel like it needs a little more of this, a little less than that.
I typically make my own roux (flour and oil isn't hard), but if you don't have the time, the jars aren't too bad.

Agreed.
I used the 32 oz jar of cajun power chicken gumbo the other night and it was amazing.
I had major doubts that it would be remotely good but I was pleasantly surprised.
It's very easy. Just dump in the jar into a medium sized pot, another jarful of water, about 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I like dark meat) and sliced sausage. (Might have to add a little more water when adding sausage.)
Also, you add the chicken uncooked. Bring to a boil when everything is in the pot then reduce to a simmer for about 2 hours. Done.
I also tossed in about a T and a half of Balls Cajun seasoning (it's got some zing to it). If you can't find that, add maybe a T of cayenne. I like my gumbo to have a little zing after you eat it, but not like set your mouth on fire hot.
Honestly, I'm usually very skeptical of how good these jarred mixes are but this one is very good. It's hard to find though, not everyone has it.
I have yet to find it at Walmart but I got it at the Albertsons here and I've seen it at dinky little grocery stores too (aka Market Basket).
Rouse's may have it but I can't say for sure, we don't have one of those.
If you don't have a lot of time, I highly recommend this mix. It's very good.
