Humpin’ Hannah’s One-Pot Gumbo

Take one sausage (I found this one way in the back of my freezer). Cut it up and put it in a pretty-big pot and heat until it begins to sizzle. Stir it around. Then throw in about two good handfuls of frozen diced green peppers. Then right away open up and pour in a can of okra & tomatoes, plus one more can of plain water. Cover the pot and cook this until it’s heated, about 15 minutes. Then open up a thawed package of imitation “crabmeat” and cut up as many pieces as you like, and throw them into the pot. Heat up the gumbo, and then taste it to see if it needs salt, pepper, red pepper flakes or hot sauce; add any and all of these to your taste.

If you have some chopped-up greens, throw them in and cook a while. You can’t overcook this gumbo. Serve the gumbo over cooked rice. Makes 2 huge or 3 normal servings.

Be sure to refrigerate leftovers because of the meat and seafood in this. Humpin’ Hannah was a real-life tavern owner during the hippie times.
