Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the andouille sausage slices in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2–3 minutes until browned on the cut side, then stir and cook 1 minute more. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
