Sausage, Onion, Bell Peppers & Tomatoes over Rice
Ingredients:
• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced (optional)
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1 medium tomato, diced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional)
• 2 cups cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Heat the Skillet:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Sausage:
Add sausage slices in a single layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release some of their juices.
4. Season and Combine:
Return the sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle in garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Cajun seasoning (if using). Stir everything together to combine.
5. Simmer:
Cook for another 2–3 minutes to blend flavors and slightly thicken the mixture with tomato juices.
6. Serve:
Spoon the sausage and vegetable mixture over hot cooked white rice. Serve immediately.
