Quick One Pot Sausage and Rice Delight is a hearty, flavorful dish made with smoky sausage, tender rice, and colorful vegetables—all cooked in one pan for easy prep and cleanup. It’s a comforting, customizable meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 cup white or jasmine rice (uncooked)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened and fragrant.
  4. Stir in uncooked rice and toast for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
  6. Return sausage to the pot, stir to combine, and bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  8. Fluff rice with a fork, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use spicy sausage or add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Swap rice with cooked quinoa or orzo for a variation.
  • Add vegetables like peas, corn, or spinach for extra nutrition.
  • Stir in shredded cheese at the end for a creamy, cheesy finish.
