Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet, brown sausage 5 minutes, and remove.
  2. Sauté onion and bell pepper in the same skillet 4 minutes; add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in rice, soup, broth, salt, and pepper; bring to a simmer, then nestle sausage back in and scatter peas on top.
  4. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover, top with cheese, and bake 10 to 15 minutes until rice is tender.
  5. Rest 5 minutes off the heat, then scoop and serve hot.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking so the rice can settle and the cheese sets up a bit. That little window is when the rice goes from soupy to creamy.
