New Meal - 'The Big Easy' Gumbo

We've gotten rave reviews about our Nawlins YaYa Gumbo - it's packed with okra, tomatoes, rice and features local smoked sausage links for an authentic and tasty backcountry treat.

You've been so enthusiastic about our gumbo that we just couldn't resist coming up with 'The Big Easy' Gumbo!

Packed with New Orleans soul, 'The Big Easy' Gumbo is an easy just-add-water version of our popular Nawlins YaYa Gumbo! We've doubled the amount of chicken, increased the veggies and nixed the sausage for a gumbo that's just as large, tasty and filling without the work or the weight! Swimming with celery, okra, tomatoes and rice – it’s a rich and flavorful meal in the wilderness. Jazz it up with Louisiana's own Tabasco Sauce!
