A comforting one-pan dish that combines hearty smoked sausage, protein-packed black beans, and rice with sautéed vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 lb sausage (e.g., smoked sausage or chorizo), sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Introduce the sliced sausage to the mixture and cook until browned and heated through, approximately 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add the rice and cumin into the skillet, stirring for about a minute to toast the rice and marry the flavors.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained black beans, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the broth.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, enjoying every comforting spoonful.

Notes

Pairs well with a green salad or crusty bread. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
