Gumbo dinner ... kinda

[pz]

Although nowhere near authentic, we like to make a stew of andouille sausage, okra, corn, black beans, diced tomato, and a variety of spices.  Quick to fix, it is a savory dish with enough spicy heat to please with every spoonful

Me too! My taste buds don't know the difference between authentic and not. They only know what they like and I'm betting they'd like this.

Looks good pz, a gumbo is whatever you want to make it, but usually with a Cajun flair.

Almost embarrassingly simple using prepared foods - not much in the way of homemade, but sure is fast after a long day at work, and very savory

• 1 can diced tomato
• 1 can black beans
• 1 package frozen okra
• 1 package frozen corn
• 1 lb meat of choice - andouille, pork, chicken, beef, anything leftover
• 1 tbs smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne
• 1 tsp chipotle (or 1-2 fresh, diced)
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp gumbo filé
• 2-4 cups beef broth (I like the concentrate found at Costco)

I usually brown the meat before adding all the ingredients, then simmering for 10-20 minutes or so[/list]
