One Pan Smoked Sausage And Rice
"Spicy smoked sausage and rice simmer together in a tomato-based sauce with the “Holy Trinity” of bell peppers, celery, and onion. It’s a simple and flavorful one-skillet dinner that everyone at the table can agree on! Charleston red rice is a lowcountry classic that pairs nicely with just about any Southern-inspired meal. I’ve taken those same basic ingredients, added zesty smoked sausage, and turned it into a main course entrée! What you’ve got here is essentially a sausage jambalaya, and it couldn’t be easier to throw together in a single pot."
