Instructions

Creating the One-Skillet Cajun Honey Garlic Sausage & Rice is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

2. Sauté the Sausage: Add the sliced Cajun sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Incorporate the Rice: Add the uncooked rice and stir well to coat it with the sausage and vegetables.

7. Check for Doneness: Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to steam.
8. Fluff the Rice: Use a fork to fluff the rice and mix in the sausage and veggies.
9. Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
