My husband's family has enjoyed this satisfying gumbo for many years. Bold seasonings and savory sausage slices enhance the mild meat. John doesn't do much hunting anymore, but we still enjoy this Cajun dish on cool evenings.

This gumbo was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some more spices and it was much better. The rabbit meat was tender and the gumbo was flavorful. I would make it again, but I would add more spices.
