Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
  2. Add flour and stir the flour until it starts to turn light brown. Watch closely to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  3. Add onion, garlic, celery, peppers, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Add tomatoes, broth, liquid smoke, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a rumbling boil.
  5. Turn down the heat. Add beans, mushrooms, and sausage (if using), cover, and let simmer for 25 minutes.

Notes

  • erve gumbo over rice or by itself. Enjoy!
  • Don’t let the roux or veggies burn. Stirring frequently helps to keep everything moving around to prevent burning.
  • Spiciness. Adjust to your taste by changing the amount of cayenne pepper. There may also be some spice in the cajun seasoning and smoked paprika but don’t pack as much of a punch as the cayenne.
  • Serve hot. Gumbo definitely is a dish served piping hot. As it sits and cools down it will thicken up more. You want it to be slightly thick but not overly thick like gravy. 
  • You can serve gumbo over rice or by itself. Enjoy!
