  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 46 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced (turkey, pork, or beef)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add diced onions and bell peppers to the same pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add uncooked rice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to toast slightly for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in black beans, corn, broth, and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Return sausage to pan and stir. Let rest 2–3 minutes. Garnish and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce—smoky, spicy, or sweet.
  • Make it vegetarian by swapping sausage with chickpeas or plant-based sausage.
  • Leftovers reheat well for meal prep or next-day lunches.
