- 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions
- Heat a large, heavy pan over high heat. Add sausage and brown. Remove sausage from pan with slotted spoon and reserve drippings for next step.
- Wash chicken thoroughly. Cut into half-inch cubes and brown in remaining sausage fat. (If you’re feeling healthy, remove chicken and drain all fat from pan.)
- Return (chicken and) sausage to pan and add onion, celery, garlic and peppers. Saute until vegetables are cooked through.
- Add liquid ingredients, including tomatoes and juice. Stir to combine.
- Add file gumbo powder and Cajun spice and simmer over low heat for at least an hour.
