Make this simple, satisfying meal featuring smoked sausage, black beans, and rice cooked together in one pot for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pot.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed black beans, chicken broth, and uncooked rice to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir the cooked sausage back into the rice mixture. Cover the pot again and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  7. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Use long-grain white rice for the best texture in this one-pot method. Brown rice requires more liquid and a longer cooking time.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a dash of hot sauce when serving.
  • For added vegetables, you can include 1 cup of frozen corn during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
