"This recipe is so great and easy to change up. Feel free to add more things like crab meat, chicken meat, more veggies. I like to add more hot sauce to the mix while its in the crock pot. Have fun with it and dont worry there is no way to mess this one up. People will think that you slaved all day to make it."

I'm giving 5 stars with the disclaimer that I didn't try this. I made it for my husband and two kids to eat and they liked it so much there were NO leftovers! Even my SUPER-PICKY son LOVED this! The only change I made was that I added 1t of Tony Cachere's instead of the other seasonings. Oh and my roux was done in about 10 minutes total cook time. Thanks for sharing!
