Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the sausage:
    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add ground sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables:
    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Cook the rice:
    Stir in the uncooked rice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
  • Combine and serve:
    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix with the rice and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can add extra veggies like spinach or zucchini for added nutrition.
  • Swap ground sausage with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
