I've been making this gumbo for years, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can throw it all in the crock pot and let it cook all day.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of sugar. It was still very flavorful, and I really enjoyed it.

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I really liked it in this gumbo. It added a nice slimy texture and a subtle flavor. I'll definitely be making this gumbo again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gumbo turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't thicken up. It was still tasty, but it wasn't the thick, hearty gumbo I was hoping for.

This gumbo was just okay. The flavors were a little bland, and the vegetables were a bit mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used more spices and cooked the vegetables for a shorter amount of time.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best gumbo he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
