    I noticed when you dumped the sausage into the pot, you didn't eat one first. Did you actually not eat one of the sausage pieces or did you edit it out? But….Besides the unrealistic expectation of not pre-eating a piece of sausage, the recipe looks amazing….especially the addition of root beer. Definitely going to give this a try soon.

    to make the gumbo like real gumbo just cook your roux in the microwave in glass measuring cup. I find 12 minutes makes the perfect brown color for gumbo. You must stir every 1-to 2 minutes but so much easier than typical way of making roux.

    Just seeing some of the other comments. Please don’t take my suggestions as criticism b/c I don’t mean them that way.
    Another tip: I your current recipe if you add couple tbl. of kitchen bouquet it would greatly help change the red color.

    Hi Louise! We love the recipe! However, we keep getting the 'add water' alarm once get to the rice portion. The roux doesn't stay on top like yours does, and some chicken and sausage gets darken (not burnt thankfully). We have the larger 8 qt Ninja, with the turn dial knob. Any suggestions?

    Gumbo is one of my husbands favorite. I am not able to tolerate the andouille it is a little to spicy for my stomach. What can I use instead of the andouille? I love your recipes and have learned so much about cooking in general. You need your own cooking show!

    Which size Foodi are you using? When I put the rack in mine, it is abouve the fill line – I have the 6 qt. I noticed your rack was past the top. Or does the fill line mane liquids and not count for the rack.

    New to your channel and it’s awesome u have some awesome recipes! I did however have a short cut for your roux. Take a cup of flower and bake it for 40-55 mins at 425 and then take it out and add you oil or butter perfect dark roux every time with no stirring. Start checking the flower at 40 mins to make sure it doesn’t burn. This is courtesy of shot gun red cooking show RIP shotgun!

    I live in Louisiana where everyone has a different recipe for gumbo. I love to cook and have always believed in letting people do what they want in the kitchen. That being said (and you knew it was coming) what I do is brown my sausage and remove. This leaves the sausage oil to brown the chicken. The chicken leaves graton (brown bits) on the bottom of the pot. Remove the chicken and deglaze with the trinity. This ads a lot of flavor. And by the way you can buy a nice dark roux in a jar at most supermarkets. Anyway just my two cents. Great channel. Oh and Creoles use tomatoes and Cajuns don't. I am a subscriber so don't think I'm being hard on you. Have a great day.
