Gumbo Mumbo Jumbo - Recipe 1

This is a recipe for Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, perfect for left-over chicken. *Make sure you cook it for at least four hours (learn from my mistake).

(via)
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, chopped (we use carrots instead of onions)
  • 1 bag frozen chopped okra & thawed
  • 16 oz V8 Juice
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 pound of chicken, cubed (and cooked)
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1/2 pound sausage (cooked)
  • Tony's Cajun Spice (about 2 tsp. - or more)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt (about 1 tsp.)
  • black pepper (about 1/4 tsp.)
  • dash of hot sauce
In my Crock-Pot I added the chicken, sausage, celery, carrots, V8, broth and seasonings. Cover and cook on Low 6 to 8 hours or on High 4 to 5 hours. ENJOY!
