This Easy Gumbo Recipe Is Perfect For Celebrating Mardi Gras

GUMBO. Because Mardi Gras is in less than a week! Wish I was in N’awlins for it, but this homemade gumbo will have to do.

Hello boo! How are we doing? It’s mid-week, Friday is almost here. Hang in there. Though I realize that always waiting for the weekend means that you miss out on everything in between, but oh well. Friday will always be better than Monday.

Oh oh oh! Another key element to Fridays? Going to bed late and sleeping in on Saturday mornings. Yahhhssss! And making gumbo! Why not?!

I Love How Quick And Easy This Gumbo Is To Make

Did you know that traditional gumbo takes hours to make?! NOT this guy! It’ll be done in like 30 minutes. However, I do feel like winter begs for slow cooked stews, but ain’t nobody got time for that. Unless, it’s in the slow cooker. Then I’m cool with it. BUT to stand above a stove stirring every 4 minutes for 4 hours? Naaah. I’ll stick to this Chicken and Sausage Gumbo which is so basic and ridiculously delicious.

What Ingredients Are Needed For Chicken and Sausage Gumbo?

First and foremost, DO NOT BE AFRAID of the list of ingredients. It’s stuff you already have on hand.

1. Chicken
2. Andouille Sausage
3. Bell Pepper
4. Celery
5. Chicken Broth
6. Cajun Spice/Seasoning
7. Diced Tomatoes (canned is fine!) and
8. Brown Rice (Minute Rice is fine!)

See? Nothing to fear.

How To Make The Best Gumbo

Now, whip out your dutch oven, friends, because we are about to start browning some andouille sausage.

When that is all said and done, we will move on to making a roux with a bit of butter, some oil, and a sprinkle of flour. You’re also going to add our chicken to that roux and cook it through. It will be pretty and golden and ready for its friends to join in!

Once we’re done with all of that, the rest of the ingredients will follow to create this somewhat traditional, packed with flavor, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.

Get on this pronto! XO

ENJOY!
