Description
A hearty one-pot meal combining flavorful sausage, rice, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sausage (any kind)
- 1 cup rice
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften.
- Add the sausage—either slice it into rounds or crumble it into the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until it is browned and fully cooked through.
- Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in your rice and stir everything together for about a minute.
- Next, add in the diced tomatoes with their juices and broth. Stir everything until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, remove it from the heat. Let it sit for another 5 minutes off the heat for extra fluffiness.
Notes
Top with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve with sour cream or lime for added flavor. Crusty bread pairs well for dipping.
