re: Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

I make a really good "cheater" gumbo that is perfect for when you want gumbo quick. I make my roux (cup of flour and a cup of oil) in a non-stick skillet and then add an entire container of the chopped seasonings you can buy at the store. I let that cook down for about 10 minutes. In a separate pot, I have about 8 cups of chicken stick simmering and then I slowly add my hot roux to the stock, stirring it with a whisk as I go. I then throw in some salt, pepper, and cayenne; and I also take the meat from one rotisserie chicken and a pound of sausage and throw that in the pot. I let simmer for an hour and then it's good to go.
