Cheesy Smoked Sausage & Rice Skillet

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2: In a large non-stick skillet that’s also oven-safe (if you don’t have an oven safe skillet, just start in the skillet then transfer everything to a greased baking dish).

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add in the chopped sausage and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until browned. Remove the sausage from the pan.

Step 4: Add more oil if needed to the skillet. Add in the onion, red pepper and green pepper and continue cooking until the peppers and onions are tender, around 3 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for a minute or two longer. Season everything with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Return the sausage back to the pan. Stir in white rice then slowly stir in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add in sour cream and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and stir to combine. If your skillet is oven-proof, sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of the skillet. If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the mixture to a casserole dish, then top with remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Bake for 30 minutes uncovered, or until the cheese is bubbly and the rice is tender.
