Start by making a roux with 1 stick of unsalted butter and 1/3 cup of flour in a cast iron skillet.

Stir the roux until it becomes frothy and toasty, cooking out the flour taste.

Add chopped onions, green bell peppers, and celery to the roux until they become tender.

Slowly add 32 ounces of chicken stock in two or three parts to help thicken the mixture.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then add 2 cloves of garlic, 2 bay leaves, and season with SPG and dirty bird seasoning.

Add a pinch of thyme and let the mixture simmer for about an hour.

After an hour, add 1 pound of andouille sausage and let it simmer for another 30 minutes.

Add green onions and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes before adding filet powder.

Serve over rice and finish with your favorite hot sauce.
