This Gumbo-Chili recipe by @ChefBradleyBayou combines bold Cajun flavor with classic Southern comfort in one hearty bowl. Made with Tony Chachere’s Original Chili Seasoning Mix and Tony’s Instant Roux Mix, it delivers rich, slow-simmered flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Tony Chachere’s Original Chili Seasoning Mix

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 3 Tbsp butter

  • 2 green bell peppers, diced

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 5 stalks celery, diced

  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin

  • 1/2 lb grated sharp cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup Tony Chachere’s Instant Roux Mix

  • Tony Chachere’s No Salt Seasoning Blend

  • 2 12ox cans diced tomatoes of choice

  • grits of choice cooked as directed (6 servings worth)

  • sour cream (optional)

  • Fritos or other corn chips (optional)

  • Clear

Directions

  1. In a 8 qt pot, sauté bell peppers, onion, and celery until translucent. Add ground beef and brown, cooking all the way through while crumbling the beef. Mix in 1 tbsp Tony’s No Salt Seasoning Blend.
  2. In the same pot, add 1 cup of chicken broth with Tony’s Instant Roux Mix and combine well. Bring to a heavy simmer for 2 minutes.
  3. Add in the remaining stock, Tony’s Original Chili Seasoning Mix, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a slight boil and lower the heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. Make grits as directed, using Tony’s No Salt Seasoning Blend to flavor, and extra butter for a creamier texture. Once grits are complete, fold in cheddar cheese until melted, and green onions.
  5. Plate like you would a gumbo, with the liquid around the grits acting as “rice”,  top with sour cream and chips.
