This easy Sausage Rice Skillet Dinner is one of those perfect weeknight dinner recipes. I love finding recipes that my kids can help to make or in this case almost make on its own. I loved that Kylie was able to jump right into the kitchen with me to make this. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Mars, Incorporated.

This summer she has stepped up a lot with helping around the house, so when she asked to help cook a family dinner, who was I to say no?? Since she wanted to take the lead, I wanted to make sure it was fairly easy. Plus we got to talk about a lot of kitchen basics to help her learn as well. We agreed on an easy sausage rice skillet dinner. I mean how much easier than four ingredients can we get??
Sausage Rice Skillet Dinner Ingredients:
- 2 Pouches Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Long Grain
- 1 Red Pepper
- ½ Yellow Onion
- 2 Sausage Ropes
How TO Make Easy Sausage Rice Skillet:

Chop your sausage into slices, a bit thinner than an inch.
Put a smidge of olive oil in your pan and turn it on medium-low heat.
Place your sausage, onion, and peppers in the pan and let them start to saute.
Be sure to stir the sausage and vegetables often.
Tear a 2-inch slit in your Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Long Grain and microwave it for 90 seconds standing up.

Sausage and rice is a favorite around here! I love that she’s excited to help. My kids are 6 & 9 and are starting to be interested in cooking. Before it was just baking. Good luck with the tween years! Thanks for the tasty recipe!
