Make the Gravy
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to make a roux. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add the Cajun seasoning and black pepper, and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
