INGREDIENTS
1-2 Lbs Cajun sausage sliced or ground
1 Tbsp cooking oil or bacon fat
1 bell pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp garlic powder and 5 cloves fresh minced garlic
1/4 tsp onion powder and one sweet onion
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper for mild 2 tsp for very hot
1/8 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1can red kidney beans
1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
4 green onions, sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
Slice the sausage into ¼ inch thick slices, or use ground. Add the sausage and cooking oil to a deep skillet or Dutch oven and sauté over medium heat until the sausage is well browned. Don't worry if the sausage begins to brown on the bottom of the skillet. That's extra flavor that will cook into the rice later.
While the sausage is cooking, dice the bell pepper, and onion. Once the sausage is browned, add the bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for about one more minute. Then add the onion.
Add the spices (smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and black pepper) to the skillet with the sausage and bell pepper and continue to sauté for one minute more to toast the spices.
Add the fire roasted diced tomatoes (with juices), rice, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.
Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow the broth to come to a full boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to low and let the skillet simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest, with the lid on, for an additional 5 minutes.
After the skillet has rested, remove the lid, and fold the sausage and rice to redistribute the rice and sausage throughout. Top with sliced green onions and serve!
