Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Andouille Sausage
  • 1.5 cups Bell Peppers (mixed colors, sliced)
  • 1 cup Onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes (canned) with juice
  • 1 cup Cooked White Rice

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender, approximately 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the Cajun seasoning and cook for another 1 minute to release the flavors.
  • Add diced tomatoes with their juice, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  • Fold in the cooked white rice, stirring to combine all ingredients well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
  • Remove from heat, let rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or serve with hot sauce on the side.
