Make this skillet sausage and rice dinner for an easy weeknight meal with very little cleanup.
Smoked sausage is our preference, especially an extra-smoky version likeConecuh, but you could also use bratwurst.
Bell pepper and onion add freshness and an aromatic base of flavor for what’s otherwise a simple dish.
