Add 2 lbs of skinless chicken or duck diced
Season with garlic cajun and little lawerys to taste and brown.
I like to cook it down till the bell pepper is dried out a splash of chicken broth to deglaze the pan helps at the end

In an instant pot or Dutch oven
2 boxes of Zararans gumbo mix
Use good (Swanson) chicken broth in place of the water
Add a can of diced fire roasted tomatoes or quart from the garden if you have them I like to blend them to make it smoother
Add 1 can of Marie Stuart okra and tomatoes

Once the sausage and chicken/duck are browned and cooked down add it to the pot of other stuff and cook. The instant pot works good but you can do it in a crock pot or Dutch oven in the oven as well. You have to stir it as the Gumbo mix has a little rice in it that will clump and stick to the bottom and scorch. The longer you simmer it the better it gets.

We serve with the cheap Walmart fresh baked French loaf and white rice.

I know this is cheating but it’s easy and the results are always outstanding!



I’m sure this is delicious, but I’m afraid my grandma would hunt me down and switch me.
