🍖 One-Pan Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sausage Rice 🍚✨
This easy, one-pan meal is packed with smoky sausage, zesty BBQ flavor, and tender rice — all simmered to perfection in a single skillet. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want something hearty, quick, and full of bold taste! 💥
Ingredients:
• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced or cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)
Instructions:
Brown the Sausage 🔥
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausage pieces and cook until nicely browned and caramelized on all sides.
Take them out of the pan and set aside.
Toast the Rice & Spices 🌾✨
In the same pan, add the uncooked rice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast the rice and bring out the flavors of the spices.
Add Broth & BBQ Sauce 🧪🍗
Pour in the broth and BBQ sauce. Mix well to combine everything.
Let it come to a light boil.
Simmer Until Done ⏳
Turn the heat down to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 18–20 minutes — or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Finish & Serve 😋
Return the sausage to the pan and stir everything together.
Let it sit off the heat for a couple of minutes so the flavors blend nicely.
Serve hot — and feel free to drizzle on more BBQ sauce if you love it extra saucy! 🥄🔥
