I don't write a lot of reviews but I had to for this one. I was looking for an easy gumbo recipe after my 8-year-old loved the gumbo at a Bubba Gump restaurant. (Who'd have thought?) I had never made gumbo before and some of the recipes just look so laborious. This took a little time but was so worth it! Everyone loved it! The only change was I added a can of diced tomatoes and I used half a cup of canola oil and half a cup of butter for the roux, just because I think roux should have butter in it and I can't help myself.
The Cajun seasoning I had was Tony Chachere's Original Creole seasoning and I only used one tablespoon of it because I didn't want it too spicy and people could add more after if they wanted it hotter. I served it with Jasmine rice and garlic bread. Really happy with this one!
I doubled this on New Year's Eve using half Parmesan cheese and half Asiago and it was delicious! I kept it warm in a little slow cooker and served it with French bread and rosemary focaccia squares and little carrots. My nephew loves Asiago cheese and he loved it.
We really liked this as is the first time I made it. Yesterday I made the sauce and put it in the slow cooker with frozen cooked meatballs instead of the patties. I put it all in about 2:30 on high for an hour, then switched it to low for a couple of hours. It was delicious with the meatballs and so easy. It is a bit salty, but it's better when served over noodles or rice.
This was so easy and yummy! Even my 5-year-old scarfed it down! I used chicken stock because that's what I had on hand and a sauteed onion. I ended up using a whole 20-ounce bag of meatballs because there was plenty of sauce and I wanted leftovers. Loved this simple delicious recipe!
I'm the submitter of this recipe. I actually submitted this recipe six years ago. I had forgotten all about it when I got the email that it was published. Better late than never! Thank you, AllRecipes!
Anyway, I do a couple of things a little differently now which I thought I would share. I now use a Colby Jack mixture of cheese instead of straight Monterey Jack. They're less greasy that way (not that this is health food by any means!). They unfortunately don't make the McCormick white and green minced onion blend anymore, but plain dried minced onions work just fine. Make sure to use the minced and not the white/green onion powder blend!
And I now like to use the scoop tortilla chips because the mixture won't run off the chip. If not, try to find the thickest tortilla chip you can. They hold up better that way. Enjoy!
This was creamy and delicious. I sauteed the onion and garlic with a pint of mushrooms, then added the vegetable broth to that, then added the rice and moved it all to the casserole dish. Instead of 3/4 cup of wine, I used 1/2 cup wine and 1/2 cup heavy cream to make it nice and creamy. My mom couldn't believe I made it in the microwave and wanted the recipe. Score! Thank you, Drasaid!
