Jambalaya Girl Gumbo Base with Roux is an authentic New Orleans-style gumbo starter mix that includes a dark rich roux, a flavorful stock, seasonings, and the Louisiana trinity of dehydrated vegetables (onion, bell pepper, celery). Each 4 oz package makes 8 servings and eliminates the need to make a roux from scratch — a process that can take an hour on its own. This Costco pack includes four 4 oz packages. The brand is a Certified Louisiana product made in New Orleans and won the 2024 People's Choice "Best Creole/Cajun" award at the Louisiana Food & Wine Festival.

To prepare, simply add chicken and sausage or seafood, cook with water, and serve over rice. The mix is versatile and works on the stovetop, in an Instant Pot, Crock Pot, or Rice Cooker. It can also be used as a flavorful gravy base or with a pot roast. The flavor profile emphasizes rich, complex New Orleans taste over heat, making it mild enough for kids while still delivering an authentic Creole kick.
