Steps:

• Chop the bacon into 1-inch bits and set aside. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the bacon in the oil until dark brown and most of the fat has been rendered out.
• While the bacon is frying (above), prepare the remaining ingredients, chopping the andouille sausage into small, fine diced cubes, as well as the celery, onion, and green onions. Mince the garlic and finely chop the tomato. (OPTIONAL: You may want to seed and peel the tomato, although this is not necessary.).
• Remove the bacon and set aside; leave the fat in the skillet.
• Add the andouille sausage to the hot fat and reduce heat to medium. Stirring occasionally to prevent burning, brown the sausage.
• Add the chopped celery and onion, increasing the heat, again, to medium-high. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until the onion turns translucent.
• Add the minced garlic and paprika, cooking until the garlic browns lightly.
• Add the finely diced tomato and fresh parsley. Stir in and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften and lose their shape. Then sprinkle the tablespoon of flour over the dish and stir in until completely incorporated.
