Bubba's Southern Gumbo
Ingredients
  • 6 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 pound cubed cooked ham
  • 1/2 pound cubed cooked chicken
  • 1/2 pound cubed smoked sausage
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, with liquid
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cups uncooked white rice
  • 1/2 pound salad shrimp
Instructions
1
Preheat a large pot over high heat, allowing it to reach the desired temperature. Add slices of bacon and cook until they become golden brown and crispy, then carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2
Then, add diced celery, sliced bell pepper, and chopped onion to the same pot with the bacon drippings. Cook these vegetables until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3
Next, add diced ham, shredded chicken, and sliced sausage to the pot. Pour in canned tomatoes, beef broth, and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Add a pinch of thyme and Cajun seasoning for added flavor.
4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then add uncooked white rice. Continue boiling until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
5
Finally, add cooked shrimp to the pot just before serving. If using uncooked shrimp, cook for an additional 5 minutes before presenting.
