Loaded with smoky sausage, zesty BBQ sauce, tender rice, and savory spices, it’s a complete comfort meal cooked in just one skillet.

Ingredients

  • • 1 lb smoked sausage (sliced or cut into chunks)
  • • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • • ½ cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)

Instructions

  • • In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, add the sliced sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. This helps release extra flavor into the pan.

  • • Stir in the uncooked rice and mix well to coat with the sausage drippings for an added layer of flavor.

  • • Sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine everything evenly.

  • • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.

  • • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 18–20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and liquid is absorbed.

  • • Remove the lid, give everything a good stir, and taste for seasoning. You can drizzle on more BBQ sauce if you love extra tang.

Serving Suggestions
