I have made this recipe several times, always a hit at the dinner table. I serve with sticky rice and cornbread.

I have never tried cooking gumbo before. Other recipes are just too complex. I'm not really a cook so I do look for recipes that are easy to follow. I find this gumbo recipe to be simple and sooooo delicious. My family loved it.

I grew up in/around NOLA. Was excited to find this recipe because I lost mine in Katrina. I've tried several Neely's recipes before and had been happy with them. But this one was a complete FAIL. It was bland! Added a LOT more seasoning to try to improve it but it still was not helping. Everyone was so disappointed.
