Reviews
This had too much tomato, and turned out really sweet. Maybe my tomatos were too ripe, but it was a more of a creole- red sauce. Gumbo traditionally has a chocolate-brown color.
Easy to make
Wonderful Recipe
Great Recipe! Thank You!
Good recipe.

IM A VERY BIG FAN AND LOVE WATCHING THE LOVE WHEN YOU GUYS COOK ON T.V MY NAME IS BRIANNA GRAHAM FROM PFLUGERVILLE TEXAS…KEEP ON COOKING
I have made this recipe many times and for those who have made it and said it wasnt good you are crazy you are suppose to make the recipe and then make it your own. Love u neely family im mad i missed u at the easter egg roll
This is my first review and my first time making Gumbo.. I followed everything but left out the chicken and added sausages. The gumbo was okay, but I have had better gumbo, This was not the gumbo I recalled having growing up. I’ll make gumbo again but not this one.
I have made this recipe several times, always a hit at the dinner table. I serve with sticky rice and cornbread.
