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 their own. I loved that Kylie could jump right into the kitchen with me to make this.
This summer, she has stepped up significantly 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 ensure it was pretty easy. Additionally, we had the opportunity to discuss various kitchen basics to help her learn as well. We agreed on a simple sausage and rice skillet dinner. I mean, how much more manageable can it be with only four ingredients?
Sausage Rice Skillet Dinner Ingredients:
- Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Long Grain– Any microwave rice pouch or microwave-ready rice will work. It takes out the guesswork for teens on making rice on the stovetop.
- Red Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Yellow Onion
- Sausage Ropes
