Gumbo Base with Roux Mix 4 oz. (1 Pack) - Gumbo Made Easy - Authentic Louisiana Base Mix - More Flavor, Less Heat by Jambalaya Girl

This is a really good gumbo base with lots of flavor.

I was a little skeptical of using a short-cut when making gumbo, since usually the best things come from hard work. However the gumbo I made using this was pretty much indistinguishable from the gumbo I've made from scratch in the past. It tasted really good and saved me so much time from having to babysit the roux. I sauté some onion, celery, bell pepper and then follow the instructions on the box with shrimp and sausage, then add frozen okra in the last 5-10 mins. Super good!

Flavor was very good, not too spicy. I only gave a 4stR because for $8 u only get 1 pack season which depending how many u are feeding may be an issue. I used Vegetable broth instead of water to add flavor. Also added addl Cajun Season since I added 2 more cups broth.

Delicious

I didn’t expect to like this. Having lived in South Louisiana for 17 years, I was totally shocked how great the roux was! Browned sausage and chicken and added shrimp at the end! French bread and rice completed the perfect meal! I have already reordered!

Great just like homemade

This is the best gumbo !!! Easy to fix. We put smoke sausage, shrimp and rice in ours it's awesome!!!! Quick and easy to do!!!

I am a cook and don't usually purchase flavorings or mixes in packages because I like to make them from scratch.I bought this item and thought I would try it. Wow, was I surprised!I added it to cooked chicken, cooked Andouilee sausage, roasted peppers, caramilized onions and cooked okra.Wow, the taste is truly that of Cajun cooking and New Orleans! I would love to try it with shrimp too - fabulous product albeit a little on the pricey side.
