Ingredients

  • 1 pound of Cajun style smoked sausage (sliced in ½ inch pieces)
  • ½ cup of bell pepper
  • ½ cup yellow onion (diced)
  • ½ cup celery (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat add the sausage. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes then add the bell pepper, onion and celery. Allow the sausage to finish browning and vegetables to soften. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant (If the sausage doesn't produce much grease, add a little olive oil to the skillet to help the vegetables cook)

  2. 2

    Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes and rice. Season with Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and cover with a lid. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to cook per the package instructions, stirring occasionally. Serve & enjoy!
