Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate. Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

Add sausage to hot pan and break up until starting to brown, 1-2 minutes.Add peppers, white portions of green onions, and seasoning blend. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat, until vegetables soften, no pink remains on sausage, and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-5 minutes.While gumbo cooks, make roux. -
2 Make the Roux
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and flour. Microwave, 30 seconds.
Carefully remove from microwave and stir to combine. Bowl will be hot! Microwave again until mixture smells "nutty" and is chestnut brown, 1-2 minutes.If butter does not darken, continue microwaving, 30 seconds a time, as needed. -
3 Finish the Gumbo
Add 1/4 cup fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 cup water, chicken broth, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir in roux and red pepper flakes (to taste) until combined. Return to a simmer.Once simmering, stir often until thickened, 1-2 minutes.Remove from burner. -
4 Cook Rice and Finish Dish
Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps. Tear a small slit in an upper corner of bag to vent. Place upright in microwave and heat, 45 seconds. Remove rice from packaging.
