How to Make Barbecue Sausage Skillet

  1. Brown 1 lb of sausage (Italian, kielbasa, or your favorite) in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper. Stir-fry until the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup water, 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite kind!), 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Cut the cooked sausage into 1/2-inch slices.
  5. Add the sliced sausage to the vegetable mixture.
  6. Reduce heat to low.
  7. Simmer uncovered for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded.
  8. Serve immediately over cooked white or wild rice.
