Instructions
Creating One-Pot Smoked Sausage And Rice is a straightforward process when you follow these easy steps:
1. Sauté the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion and diced bell peppers. Cook until softened, around 3-4 minutes.
3. Incorporate Rice: Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to combine, allowing it to toast slightly for about 2 minutes.
4. Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the rice and vegetables.
5. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and add the corn. Stir everything together, bringing it to a boil.
6. Cover and Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
7. Fluff and Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat. Use a fork to fluff the rice and combine everything evenly.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a nice touch and extra flavor.
