My whole family loved it. Lots of flavor. Added fresh corn and some pepper flakes as suggested by some reviews. Thanks Paula Dean. I love your shows.

So delicious!!! Very time consuming but well worth it. My friends ask me to make this all of the time and definitely a go-to comfort food. Just a small tip- ADD CORN - so delicious!! Add some Cayenne,Cajun seasoning, and teaspoon of tabasco. Use corn starch to thicken. I usually use more stewed tomatoes than called for. serve with rice.

I've been making Paula's gumbo recipe for years now and it's the dish I bring to pot-luck get-togethers. There's never leftovers. I fix it and then put it in a slow cooker so it stays warm, plus I bring a container of white rice to serve with it. If I make it at home for the family, sometimes I use bone-in chicken which makes it even more flavorful. Except for not adding in the okra (the family just won't go for that I follow the recipe exactly.

As with everyone else - it was great!!

My substitutions to make it hotter: Spicy sausage, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes

Couldn't find okra - so I substituted baby zucchini instead, with a dash of flower to help thicken like the okra

Tasted great!

BEST Gumbo every. Soooo flaverful. I am going to make it again this weekend. The only difference is when making the roux, I did it by itself and added it to the mixter later, I also added about a cup more of water and a cup of high quality rice and it was very filling. I also used two types of sausage and should have browned the sausage before cutting and adding to the pot but either way is good. If you have never tried to make a GUMBO, TRY THIS one you will not be unhappy... promise...

After browning the meat I made the roux with butter not margarine. It browned-black quickly and stuck to the bottom of my dutch oven. I thought I ruined my dutch oven and the dish. I continued to brown the roux.

My tip is to get the hot water rolling in a tea pot while you brown the meats. Let the roux cool like in the direction then continue with the recipe and mix in the vegetables. The stuck on brown bits will lift up when you pour in the water. (I'm a new dutch oven owner $$:O I'm happy to report my dutch oven and the recipe worked perfectly.
