Steps:
- Add the oil, chicken and sausage rounds to a stockpot on medium-high heat. Sear the chicken to get color and sausage to get color and render fat, but not to cook fully. As the parts finish searing, use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a plate, leaving the fat in the pot, about 10 minutes total.
- Add the butter, flour and Cajun seasoning to the pot. Cook on medium heat, constantly stirring, until the roux becomes a rich, dark caramel color, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers, onions, celery, jalapenos and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, to coat, until everything gets tender, 5 to 8 minutes, then add the stock base and 8 cups water and stir to mix the base into the pot. Add the bay leaves and cover the pot to simmer until the gumbo is thickened, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Add the reserved chicken and sausage, then stir in the file powder. Simmer, uncovered, for another 30 minutes.
- Shred the chicken in the pot. Serve over rice with a shake of hot sauce and file powder.

EASY SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP GUMBO
This dish will warm your heart on a cold day. I first had this at a friend's house in Louisiana and after a few changes, shrimp instead of chicken for instance, I came up with a recipe I think you will enjoy as much as my family does. Serve over rice with additional seasoning on the side if you like it spicier, as I do. Enjoy.

Tips:
- Use a variety of sausage: Andouille, kielbasa, and smoked sausage are all great options for gumbo. You can also use a combination of different types of sausage for a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the sausage, make sure to give it plenty of room to brown. If you overcrowd the pot, the sausage will steam instead of brown, and it won't have as much flavor.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use for your gumbo is important, as it will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a homemade stock if you can, or buy a good quality store-bought stock.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in gumbo should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. If you overcook the vegetables, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season to taste: Gumbo is a dish that should be seasoned to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cayenne pepper, paprika, or garlic powder, to taste.
