Sausage Pepper Rice Skillet is an easy and delicious one skillet meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!

I love a good one skillet meal and this Sausage and Pepper Rice Skillet is just that – a healthy and delicious weeknight meal that the family will be sure to love! And since it is cooked in only one skillet, that means less cleanup – a winner for sure!

Ingredients in Sausage Pepper Rice Skillet

This skillet has pretty basic ingredients that combine to make one amazing dish. First, there’s the vegetables – white onion, red bell pepper, and orange bell pepper. You can use yellow or green bell peppers too, if you prefer.

Then there’s the sausage. I used a smoked sausage but kielbasa or chicken sausage would also work great in this dish. Next, there’s the spices – garlic, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Lastly, there’s tomato sauce, rice, and chicken broth. I topped it off with some fresh parsley which added a bit of freshness that I loved!

How to Make Sausage Pepper Rice Skillet

As I mentioned, this dish is super easy to make. First, you’ll saute the vegetables and sausage until the vegetables are softened and the sausage is browned. Next, you’ll add the garlic and spices, followed shortly by the tomato sauce, rice, and vegetable broth. Everything is simmered for about 25 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid and is soft and ready to eat. See? So easy!
