One Pot Cheesy Sausage Rice
One Pot Cheesy Sausage Rice is a hearty, flavorful dish with sausage, rice, and melted cheese, all made in one skillet!
Ingredients
- 14 oz. smoked sausage sliced
- 1 onion diced
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
- 2 cans water
- 10 oz. Rotel tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ c. rice
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and onion, cooking until the sausage is browned and the onion is tender.
- Stir in the cream of chicken soup. Fill the empty soup can with water twice and add it to the skillet.
- Add the Rotel tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, and rice to the skillet.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese until melted.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook until the cheese is fully melted.
- Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm!
Notes
- Long-grain white rice works best for this dish. Avoid instant or parboiled rice, as it may overcook or affect the texture.
- While the rice cooks, give it a stir once or twice to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference. Add more for a kick or leave them out for a milder dish.
- After adding the final layer of cheese, keep the skillet covered for a few extra minutes to allow it to melt evenly and create a gooey topping.
