My family and I loved this. One star off because I think the flour mutes the spices a bit and it could be more flavorful.

it turned out great i didn't know if the roux was right at first but yet family love it

Delicious. Used cornstarch instead of Gumbo file since I couldn’t find any at the store. Will make again. Family loved it.

Turned out really good! I did add more Cayenne pepper to spice it up a little more.
I made this to can for my husband to eat later while he’s away for work.

Turned out great! I didnt like the andouille sausage so next time I’ll substitute it with beef sausage. Prepped my onions and peppers the night before so it would cut down the time it took to make it. Definitely gonna be making this again, next time it’ll be spicy though!

My first time making gumbo and it turned out perfect. I love this app.

Been using this recipe for more than a year now and it never disappoints. I add shrimp and I do not use the gumbo file or cayenne pepper. I use Tony’s as a base seasoning, I also add a little lemon juice and agave to give it more flavor but for any first timers this is the recipe for you!

Delicious! I added shrimp to the recipe. First time making gumbo and will make this recipe again!💕💕

Great ingredients and directions It was right on point with the Gumbo I’ve had in NOLA

Really good, used Tony Cs creole seasoning and Tony Cs roux mix in place of making a roux and using the gumbo file; only 1/4 tsp of cayenne and was still a tad hot for us. Next time we will omit cayenne as the there is enough spice in TCs and the andouille sausage for us

Banging gumbo. we had to modify the roux a little bit we used oil and flour and a lower temperature, also could not find gumbo file anywhere. but we followed everything pretty much to the T and added some tony chacheres. i have a friend that brings andoullie from New Orleans and ot gives it such an amazing smokey taste. will make again and brag about

Husband loved it. Didn't use file, only 1/2t of cayenne, 1/2 of of andouille because husband ate the rest 🥰. Rest as is.

This was very good! Will make again

I loved it! It had a really good flavor. I only used one can of the tomatoes and Cajun seasoning. It was a hit with my kids.

Excellent, flavorful, and easy to make and follow along for newbies to Gumbo. My family loves it! 5 Stars!
Yummly User 3 years ago
I love this recipe!! It’s amazing every time I make it highly recommended!
Yummly User 3 years ago
Really good. I reduced the chicken and added shrimp in the last 4 minutes.
Yummly User 3 years ago
Very Good! I made it a day early and haven’t tasted it the second day. Before putting it in the fridge, I took more than my share of taste tests. With the amount of cayenne suggested, it’s pretty spicy. I like it, but perhaps next time, I’ll cut it a little for those spicy-intolerant folks. I also liked the idea of adding shrimp. This was my first attempt at gumbo, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Yummly User 3 years ago
It actually turned out pretty decent. I think once it sits over night and the juices and seasonings set it’ll be even better!
Yummly User 4 years ago
Very good!! Would definitely make again!

Super easy - the roux was cooked lower than recommended, and thus, took longer. I mixed both precooked chicken along with grilled chicken strips. I didn't use the file, and it still turned out phenomenal.
