If you ike comfort food, then this is for you.The minced peppers really bring the taste of this Gumbo all together. It can get spicy just from the Hot Sausage, but it is so good. Amount of ingredients dont have to be followed to the letter but to be used as a guide. I have added corn,okra,and lima beans on occasion. Have fun and add what you think will fit in with this Gumbo. Spice amount listed is just a suggestion and should be modified to your own taste. Use a 6 quart Crock pot so all the ingredients fit. Serve bisquits or Corn Bread with this gumbo. I also top with with a dollop of sour cream.
