Sausage and Rice Casserole
This easy sausage and rice casserole will soon be your favorite weeknight meal. It's cozy and it's such an easy healthy dinner recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 can whole kernel corn drained
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 14.5 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika, cumin, oregano + black pepper 1 teaspoon EACH
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 c. chicken broth
- 1 c. brown or white rice uncooked
- salt to taste
- 5 links chicken sausage
Instructions
- in a dutch oven or large skillet, heat your oil and saute you onions + garlic over medium heat. Once your onions are translucent, add in your drained corn.
- Stir together, then add in your 2 tablespoon of tomato paste. Mix until caramelized, aka until the paste turns a darker color. Should be 2-3 minutes.
- Add in your diced tomatoes and sliced chicken sausage along with your seasonings.
- Mix well and stir in your chicken broth + rice.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered. Once it's boiling, cover your pot, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20-30 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked and the chicken broth is absorbed.
- I like to top mine with greek yogurt, cheddar cheese and scallions, but top with your favorites and enjoy!
