Anyone ever use this stuff? How is it?

I have some left over chicken and sausage and was thinking of making a gumbo, since we had Jambalaya yesterday.

Any other one dish ideas to do with chicken and sausage? We are tired of pasta.

I've used it everytime I've made gumbo. I like the flavor it lends and I've never had complaints from friends and family. Let me know how you like it.

I have used their Jambalaya mix for years when going to the hunting or fishing camp when I know I don't have time to do a good roux justice, and think it is the best out there. Guessing their gumbo base would be good too.

It was the best gumbo bases I have ever tried. I was skeptical because I could not see spices to the eye, but It had a great flavor. Will use it again.
Made it per the directions and then put in the crockpot to keep warm.

OK, forgive my ignorance, but what is a gumbo base? is it more than a roux? it has spices?

fwiw, Oak Grove is the only mix jambalaya i will eat.

It is a dry roux with the spices in it, all you do is add the water or stock & meat (I used chicken stock).

Not quite as good as Crawfish Man's, but pretty good (as far as mixes go).
