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:

Start out by prepping your vegetables and be sure to deseed the red pepper.

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.
