How to make it

Gumbo
- Heat butter in a medium-large sauce pan. Add onion, celery, and sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and chicken and stir, cook for 1-2 minutes. Add flour 1 tbsp at a time, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add seasoning & bay leaves. Add tomatoes with liquid, and stock. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce to low. Simmer for at least 15 minutes, but 30+ is best. Remove from heat & remove bay leaves. Spoon mixture into a casserole dish, one deep/large enough so it allows 3 inches space above for topping.
Cornbread Topping
- In a medium mixing bowl combine dry ingredients, mix well. Add wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Carefully spread batter over gumbo as evenly as possible. Place casserole on a lined baking sheet and place in oven. Bake for 25-30 min, or until golden brown and a tooth pick inserted (into cornbread layer) comes out clean. Let set for a few minutes before serving.
