Cheesey Sausage and Rice Skillet

Servings 4 -6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 C chopped onion
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 C Royal Blend® with Quinoa
  • 3 C chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1, 14.5 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 C cheddar or colby-jack cheese grated

Instructions

  • Brown sausage in a large skillet, remove from pan and set aside. If using a low-fat sausage like turkey, brown in a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and saute the peppers and onions over medium heat until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add rice and stir until grains start to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce into the rice, add salt and beans. Stir and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover.
  • Cook for 20 minutes (adjust time based on the rice used). Remove from heat and stir in sausage and cheese. Mixture will be thin but will thicken as it cools.
