Cajun Meatball Stew: The Ultimate Comfort Food!

This recipe for Cajun Meatball Stew is straight out of south Louisiana. A family member gave me this cook book, Bayou Lafourche II, and this recipe was in it. I've modified it to my own liking, but just a little.
I also own the Bayou Lafourche I . Both are excellent cajun cook books. I'm not sure where or even if you can still get them, but if you are somehow able to find one or both of these books, don't hesitate to grab one. You won't regret it. This is the best cajun meatball stew I've ever had.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN OVEN ROUX:
Start out with 4 ounces of oil and 4 ounces of flour, by weight. Place the vegetable oil and flour into a 5 to 6-quart cast iron Dutch oven and whisk together to combine. Place on the middle shelf of the oven, uncovered, and bake for up to 1.5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Bake at 350° F . The longer you cook it the darker the roux. I've never had to go over 1.5 hours.

Good grief this Cajun Meatball Stew is to die for there's so much I love about this ultimate comfort food dish INCLUDING the frozen roux I've never thought to do that before what a great idea and using those canned 🥕 was a perfectly logical idea too. Marvelous cooking once again I can't wait to try this😋👍!!!

[rootboycooks]

Damn son! This is the bomb Dot Com! Looks excellent!

[crunchmunch]

Looks like a keeper to me, going to have to give this a try for sure. I can't make rice to save my soul but this would be great over a few slices of toast or some mashed potatoes for sure.

[GrumpyGrunt]

Brother, I have never seen this recipe before, but it looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I don't know why I never thought of making stew with some bada$$ meatballs instead of chuck or some roast. I'll give this one a try soon. Thansk, Jaxx! Stay well.

[PaiviProject]

Well wow that sure end up looking fantastic. I was little ifffy about all those carrots (few veggies I like raw better than cooked) but perhaps I would least try 1 can :)) I think cooking the balls in the oven first it the way to go :)) So I'm not sure if I ever knew I could freeze the roux. Well shhht I need dat in my freezer asap ! I'm liking all that. Looks good. I wanna do it 👌👍👋

[Sentone]

Looks good Jaxx. also could i use a different type of hot sauce if i wanted?? just curious because i do like changing a recipe to make it my own at times

[colleenbeamer]

Looks delicious, Jaxx! Honestly, who would *not* want to use your meatball recipe (of course unless you were allergic, vegetarian or had some other legitimate reason) 'cause I think it looked delicious! 😋😋😋 Would love to see a roux video - I've made roux before, but only for things like a cream or a cheese sauce. It would be nice to see your steps in making a brown roux! Pretty please! 🥰😁😁😁
