Or, take it to another level with whatever meats you have leftover from the week, and square it up in a casserole dish/ throw a variety of cheese over the top and BAM- into the oven it goes. It’s a casserole-style meal combined with ingredients from whatever random items you have laying around in the fridge and cupboards.

Chicken-Sausage Gumbo INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS: [At Home] Mix chicken in a bowl with seasonings (Gumbo File & your choice), set aside. Put flour in a bowl while heating a pan of oil. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat well, shaking off excess. Reserve the leftover flour. Add chicken to hot oil and cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Pour off all but one cup of fat from the skillet. Heat this oil over high heat until it is almost smoking and add the reserved seasoned flour. Stir rapidly and constantly with a wire whisk until the mixture is golden brown. Do not burn. This is a roux. Add the chopped onion, celery and green pepper to the roux and stir to blend well. Remove from the heat. Add about half a cup of the roux mixture to second skillet, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Continue adding the roux mixture, half a cup at a time, always stirring rapidly and constantly. Add the smoked sausage and stir. Cook over high heat, stirring often from the bottom, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken pieces, okra (cut into chunks), and finely minced fresh garlic. Cook about 40 minutes, on medium-low, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken pieces. Cut the meat from the bones and discard the bones. Cut the chicken into cubes or shred it and add it back to the pot. Serve with Uncle Ben's rice. [RV] Freeze into Ziploc bags and store until travel/ keep frozen in the freeze-box or on dry ice until ready to cook in RV. Throw portions into the microwave when ready to cook or simmer on low in the Crock-Pot. Crock-Pot Hot Chicken INGREDIENTS:

When tender, shred the chicken with two forks right in the Crock-Pot and serve on Hawaiian sweet rolls with additional sauce for flavoring if desired.
