Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large skillet, brown the sliced smoked sausage over medium heat until slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chopped onion, diced bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, frozen peas, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked smoked sausage.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
