Directions

1
In a large Dutch Oven – Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat.  Add the sliced sausage and cook until well browned.  Remove the sausage from the oil and set aside.  I did this using a slotted spoon allowing the oil to fall back into the pan.
2
Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the oil, and add 2 Tbs of the Butter – Stir constantly or it will quickly burn and stick to the pot.  Stir for about 6-10 minutes.  The roux will get progressively darker.  It should reach a nice dark nut brown color.  Pull pot off of the burner and allow the Roux to cool.
3
After cooled, put the roux on low heat, add remaining 3 Tbsp. of butter, let melt and stir in.  Add onion, garlic, and peppers and cook for 10 minutes.
4
Add Worchestershire sauce, cajun seasoning, and garlic salt, stir frequently – Cook for 5 minutes.
5
Add 4 cups of hot water, gravy mix, and sausage.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Season to taste.
