Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened.
  • Add ground sausage and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the sausage is browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  • Stir in rice, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, letting the rice toast slightly.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • You can use brown rice for a healthier option, but adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Add extra veggies like peas or spinach for a more nutrient-packed meal.
