Missy's Gumbo (Chicken, Sausage & Shrimp)

This is Missy's own version of Gumbo.  As you can see she has all the bases covered! Delicious!!!

Ingredients:
¾ Cup Oil
¾ Cup Flour
2 Green Peppers Chopped
1 Lg Onion Chopped
3 Stalks Celery Chopped
1 Clove Garlic
1 Pkg or Smoke Sausage or 1 Pd Andouille Sausage cut into bite size
4 Chicken Breast cut into bite size
1 Pd Shrimp peeled
1 Can diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp Old bay
1 Tbsp Garlic Mrs. Dash
¼ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
½ Tsp  Tony Chachere’s original creole seasoning (can be found at Redner’s or Walmart) Add more if you like spicy

Preparation:
(Make sure everything is cut before you start)
Mix oil and flour in a pan over medium low heat stirring until a medium brown roux (this will take 20 to 30 minutes and should be the color of pecan shells.  Do not use a non-stick pan or it will not turn in color, also do not let it burn.)
Add onion, green pepper, celery and garlic cook for 10 minutes add chicken cook for an additional 15 minutes.  Add chicken broth, can of tomatoes, sausage and seasonings.  Simmer for 1 hour.  (At this time I taste the broth and add more seasoning if I would like it spicier.) Add the Shrimp cook until pink (about 10 minutes).  Serve over rice.
