Servings: 8 People
Ingredients
- 14 ounce andouille sausage, cut into ¼ inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausage in and saute for 3-5 minutes, mostly browning the sausage.
- To the skillet add in the bell peppers and onion, continue to saute everything for another 5 minutes, the vegetables should brown and become tender.
- Add the garlic and cajun seasoning and saute for another 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add in the fire diced tomatoes with green chilies, rice, and chicken broth and bring everything to a boil. Once the liquid is boiling, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, keeping the liquid at a low simmer.
- Continue to simmer the liquid, covered for about 20 minutes, the rice should have absorbed all the liquid.
- Remove the skillet from heat, keep it covered and let it rest for another 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice to redistribute all the vegetables and sausage throughout.
- Serve fresh with sliced green onions and enjoy!
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days
This recipe calls for andouille sausage but you can use a kielbasa or other link sausage of your choice!
If you are wanting to spice things up with this recipe, I recommend adding a seeded and diced jalapeño to the skillet with the bell peppers and onions.
