The key is in the roux. If you dont get that right, you're in trouble, start over. Most recipies call for pork sausage, chicken broth, and crab meat in place of the beef stuff and chicken. But, all gumbo is good and this one sounds good to me. My wife makes chicken gumbo, minus all the sea food. That is good too. Over a bed of hot rice!!!! mmmmmm......

You know what they say in La.?
Honey, I got the rice cooking, what do you want for supper?

When making the roux (the first step) when she says stirring constantly she means stirring CONSTANTLY. My Mom always said never turn your back on a roux. And if you burn it start over.
