I would like to share this great recipe that has quickly become a family favorite around here! What is so great about this sausage and rice skillet recipe is that you can change up the ingredients and it still tastes amazing. In this recipe, I used cauliflower along with my sausage and rice.

The original recipe had broccoli as the main veggie and red bell peppers mixed in. I’m not a fan of bell peppers, so I left them out, but the original recipe has broccoli with the sausage and rice and it is also a really yummy combination. To add more zing to the recipe I used some Emeril’s Essence Seasoning to wake up the flavor of this dish.

Another easy way to add more flavor and save time is to use Seeds of Change or Uncle Ben’s packaged microwavable rice packets. I used Seeds of Change Quinoa & Brown Rice in this recipe.

Seed’s of Change rice varieties are pretty awesome. If you haven’t tried them yet, you should grab one on your next visit to the grocery store. I hope you enjoy this new simple weeknight favorite as much as we do!

MAKE AHEAD: Place single servings in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. 
FREEZER: Place in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in a microwave or in the refrigerator overnight. Bake on 350 for 25 minutes or microwave for 5 minutes on high until done
