Ingredients

14 oz smoked sausage, sliced

1 cup white rice (uncooked)

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 small onion, diced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage slices on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Melt butter in the same skillet. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in rice, garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
Add sausage back into the skillet and stir to combine.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let melt for a few minutes.
Remove from heat, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
