Easy to make. Turned out great. We added shrimp. - 1/18/10

Very good! My entire family loved it! It's incredibly aromatic, so tasty, and when there is a crock pot involved, it's so simple. I found that the recipe yields MANY more than 6 servings. - 9/29/09

what is fille powder? I've never heard of this. - 9/6/08

It is a cajun seasoning you can normally pick up at in the spice isle in the local grocery store. It makes the dish!

I added cooked rice in for the last 20 min in the crock pot. Yum! - 1/13/11

I also loved this recipe. However, my rice did not cook either. So, I removed it to stove and the rice cooked in a very short time. - 9/14/08

Hmmm. Maybe putting the rice in sooner would help or cooking the whole thing on high. I know for my slow cooker it only takes about an hour. A friend said that some crock pots differ in time and temp. I don't know? I cooked it last weekend and it worked.

File (pronounced 'fee-lay') powder is ground sassafras leaves &is used as a thickener when okra is out of season or not used. I've never heard of using both. File should never be put in till AFTER the dish is cooked--it can get slimy. A little is sprinkled on at the table by diners themselves. - 6/21/15

I nor my family like okra I substituted baby carrots because that's what I had. The canned tomatoes I used no salt diced tomatoes and Swanson organic vegetable broth. Cooked the rice. With saying that I was able to cute the sodium by almost 200 mg My family loved it. - 8/26/14

So far smells great. But, how long is it supposed to cook AFTER adding the rice? I added the rice two hours ago and it's still not done; this is after I turned it up to high over 3 hours ago. (4 hours into the cooking time). The recipe doesn't address that. - 9/11/08

Generally it only take about an hour for it to cook after adding the rice. Hmmm not sure why yours wasn't done after two?

Guess I am not meant to be a gumbo person. I love most soups but I couldn't handle the peppers. - 10/24/19

Not gumbo.....not even close. Don't waste your time trying this. - 2/28/19

I think I will use low sodium chicken broth or use my own to cut out some or most of the sodium - 11/15/18

I used a only a 1/2 C of rice, and found it was still more rice than I prefer. I agree that adding shrimp would be good. - 3/3/16

I need to make some changes - I'm going to lessen the amount of liquid - it was too soupy. And I'm going to increase the spices a bit. I also had trouble with the rice not cooking - I will use much less rice next time too. I agree it should have been 1.5 cups of cooked rice, not uncooked rice. - 5/2/13

This looks great. I'm going to try it with a few tweaks. I will say that the calories are quite a bit off though, the calorie count given is for cooked rice not UNcooked (about 220 cal cooked vs 620 cal for raw). - 4/8/13

The directions for this recipe are terrible. It took 3 hours for the rice to cook! You should mention that. I haven't tasted it yet because it got too late. It was a very disappointing evening when it came to dinner tonight. :( - 4/3/13

How do you suggest I lower the sodium content? - 2/12/09

do i have to add the brown rice in it or can i just cook the gumbo and put it over the rice? - 12/22/08

Im definately making this one. One question - what is the serving size? I dont want to over do it. - 11/29/08
JACINDA222
This is very good, I did add the rice earlier and cooked it for 1 1/2 hours. However, I think the nutrition information is a bit off, since 1/4 c uncooked brown rice is 150 calories. Maybe the database is a bit off? Or the calories are for 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice? Either way, yummy meal! - 10/17/08

Very good! We used chicken sausage because we couldn't find any turkey but otherise the same recipe. Of course, I had to add a healthy dose of Louisiana Hot Sauce on my serving! I would recommend this recipe. - 9/8/08

Is the rice cooked or uncooked? - 9/7/08

I think she meant file powder

Gumbo file powder is a necessity for cooking authentic Cajun cuisine. Quite simply, gumbo file powder is the powdered leaves of the sassafras tree. When ground, they smell somewhat like eucalyptus or juicy fruit gum.

Long before the use of file powder for Creole a - 9/6/08

Thank you for assisting. I fixed the recipe so now I think it is much clearer. I am actually fixing it again for my family tonight. They are super excited.
