Sour cream and condensed milk are used in this key lime pie recipe. Wonderfully simple and a summertime favorite! If you have the time, make your own graham cracker crust. If desired, garnish with lime slices and whipped cream.

It was great! I added crawfish sausage and shrimp I didn’t have chicken and I have 7 mouth to feed and three are teenagers boys
Benjamin Gross
Made this tonight and it was pretty good except a bit too spicy for me. We added sliced smoked sausage. Fotgot to get stewed tomatoes so we did rotell. I think the regular stewed tomatoes would have been better because less spice for me. Will most likely make it again.

I loved this recipe. I did make 1 change though. Instead of rice, which I can’t stand, I added some wide noodles to the crock pot. It was to die for. Everyone loved this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing.
Cameron Yang
I thought this was great! I added some Zatarain’s Gumbo Filet at the end as it adds some traditional flavor as well as acting as a thickening agent. Good stuff!
Michael Schneider
No tomatoes

I added smoked sausage.
Gina Navarro
This was really good. Definitely will be making this over and over agr

Hubby loved this, I thought it was pretty good. I added okra (it’s not gumbo without okra!) and half a pack of andouille sausage. I used diced tomatoes instead of stewed because those had sugar. I added extra celery and bell pepper because those are in stewed tomatoes. I think it needs to cook more than 6 hours for the onion to get really cooked through– more like 6.5 to 7 hours. Spice level was good, I used a hair more of Tony Chachere’s and cayenne than called for and it was a nice spice level.

Super easy

It came out pretty tasty and easy to make! I used bell peppers instead of the green pepper and used stew beef instead if chicken. The flavor with the rice and shrimp is perfect! I live in an area that doesn’t have cajun food so this was a great dish to try.

Great Father’s Day dinner. Used a chicken breast rather than thighs but it cooked up well. Will definitely prepare again

So if you’re looking for a true gumbo, I’d give this 3 stars because it’s missing the roux and it’s a bit soupy. But the flavor is still good so I gave it 4 stars! I would make it again but cut the tomatoes and add a roux. I added sausage, okra and omitted the celery.

It needed some sort of other seasoning, I might try adding some sort of Creole/Cajun seasoning, otherwise pretty good.

The recipe above reminded me of Campbell’s Chunky gumbo, which isn’t a bad thing. I substituted andouille sausage for the shrimp, which kicked up the favor. If you have the ambition, add a roux. Heat 1/2 C of vegetable oil to the point it’s almost smoking, then stir in 1/2 C of flour. (This is hot and sticky, so be really careful as you work with this.) Stir the oil and flour as it browns. After 3-4 minutes, when it gets to a reddish-brown, pull it off the heat and add about 1/2 C chopped onions, bell peppers, green onions, or celery to stop the cooking process. Add this to the crockpot. It adds body to the broth and a nutty taste to the stew.

Delicious! I only added corn, my kids favorite and deleted tomatoes -yuck lol! I will definitely make this again
Theresa Woodward
Don’t believe any of the rave reviews. This was the blandest, least flavorful dish I’ve ever made. Followed the recipe exactly. Don’t waste your time. Horrible.
Ann Crawford
Delicious. I added a roux , this is my husband’s favorite meal now
Timothy Stewart
Great
Lauren Shepard
Tastes awesome!
Donald Wallace
This came out great. It will for sure be in my rotation. I was blasting the cajun music all day waiting for it!
Matthew Li
This is the second time making this and it’s really a great recipe! It has lots of flavor but isn’t to heavy! It’s definitely a keeper!
