Mama we spent beaucoup time getting this recipe to taste just like our homemade gumbo and we think we hit the nail on the head. In just minutes and with very little effort, you can have a great tasting, stove cooked Cajun gumbo for the entire family plus some. All you have to do is add chicken and/or sausage (for a seafood gumbo, add seafood instead), bring to a boil, let simmer and serve over rice. It's as simple as that! The mix is pre-seasoned and already has that true Cajun flavor everyone loves.
