1. Make your roux: heat 1/3 cup bacon drippings in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Sprinkle in cassava flour and whisk until a smooth paste forms. Cook this mixture, whisking almost constantly, for about 30 minutes, or until it turns a deep amber color. Don't let it burn - let this process happen slowly and gradually. This is what gives a real gumbo its rich flavor!
2. Meanwhile, add your celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic to a food processor and pulse a few times until the mixture is finely chopped.
3. When roux is a rich amber color, stir in the celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic mixture; add the sliced sausage. Stir well then add 1 cup water and whisk well. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the vegetables are softened a bit, about 15 minutes. Add the second cup of water, if needed, to keep the mixture from burning on the bottom of the Dutch oven.
4. Meanwhile, bring 4 cups beef broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. If you have not used both cups of water yet, heat the 2nd cup of water with the beef broth. Stir hot broth into the roux-vegetable mixture and whisk well. Stir in coconut aminos, salt, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, dried thyme, and diced tomatoes. Simmer for 2 hours over low to medium-low heat. If you have gumbo filé, add 1 teaspoon to the soup after 1 hour.
