How to Make Cajun Style Sausage And Rice Skillet

  1. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the vegetables and seasonings.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in the browned sausage, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
