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
- green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 ounce andouille sausage, in and saute for 3-5 minutes, mostly browning the sausage.
- To the skillet, add the sliced 1 red bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, and ½ yellow onion, and continue to saute everything for another 5 minutes. The vegetables should brown and become tender.
- Add the minced 3 cloves garlic, and 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning and saute for another 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add in 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies 1 cup long grain white rice, and 1 ½ cups 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.
