Easiest meal ever right here!
This one pot smoked sausage and rice is super simple, a great weeknight meal, easy to meal prep and tastes amazing. And obviously… is made in ONE POT!
I live for a super simple dish like this, especially when my kids go wild for it.
This is a spin on one of our favorite easy meals, my roasted smoked sausage and peppers. In fact, I usually serve that recipe WITH rice, so it’s all right here in the pan!
Eddie calls that my cop-out meal because I make it so frequently on busy weeknights. It’s embarrassingly easy and comes together super quick. And not sure if it’s just mine, but the kids think that the smoked turkey sausage tastes like hot dogs.
Yes, that’s right – my favorite variety of smoked sausage to use is a turkey smoked sausage. It’s easy to find at my local grocery store and we all really like it!
Here’s how it comes together!
First, I like to brown the smoked sausage in the pan. I like to get some deep golden caramelization on the sausage rounds! The more flavor, the better.
Once the sausage is browned, I transfer it to the plate. Next, I add in the onions and peppers and let them get all soft and delicious! Lots of garlic too.
As soon as the vegetables are ready, I add in some jasmine rice. I also put the sausage back in the pan and pour in some chicken stock! I’ve also used bone brother too. Remember, whatever you use here is what is going to flavor your dish the most.
I bring the mixture to a boil, reduce it to a simmer and cover it. The whole simmer situation only takes about 10 to 15 minutes! This will depend exactly on your rice, so I suggest checking it after 10 minutes and going from there.
As soon as it’s finished, I like to sprinkle in some green onions. You could also add herbs or some parmesan cheese.
Super easy!
Sometimes I will make this dish if I need lunch for the next few days. It’s light and flavorful but very satisfying at the same time.
And a meal that is requested by the whole family – that’s a win!

-
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage rounds in a single layer and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Brown on one side, then flip the rounds and brown on the other side. When they are all brown, transfer to a plate.
-
In the same skillet, add the peppers, shallot and garlic. Sprinkle in more salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 6 minutes or until the vegetables soften.
-
Add the rice into the skillet. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
-
Add the sausage back into the pot. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, then check to see if the liquid is absorbed. If the rice seems too dry, you can always add in a bit more liquid ½ cup at a time. The jasmine rice usually cooks quickly – within 10 to 20 minutes. If you use another kind of rice, you might need to add more liquid and cook it longer.
-
Once the rice is finished, sprinkle on some green onions. Serve and enjoy!
A delicious cop out!!
