Sausage and Rice Vs. Pasta and Sausage

This sausage and rice recipe is remarkably similar to my favorite pasta and sausage recipe. Iโ€™ve been making the pasta version for years, long before I even had a blog. Any time Iโ€™m short on time or ideas for dinner, thatโ€™s my go-to recipe. I have to say though, that this rice version might have taken its place as a new family favorite. It really hits the spot when you want a filling meal that is still really good for you.

Even though I had to give up wheat, I still cook a lot of gluten-free pasta. I have to say though; that the texture is never quite as good as the real thing. One nice thing about this dinner is that itโ€™s naturally gluten-free (as long as you are careful with your sausage choice), which is one of the reasons I love cooking with rice. I also think rice makes for better leftovers than pasta most of the time, and who doesnโ€™t love leftovers for lunch?

Sausage and Rice Recipe in No Time

Iโ€™m crazy for rice skillets because as long as you stick to the basics of one-part rice to two-parts liquid and 20 minutes of cook time, you can make so many things! In this case, the liquid is chicken broth and a little juice from the tomatoes. The sausage adds so much flavor that you donโ€™t need any other seasonings. If youโ€™d prefer a whole grain to white rice, you can make this skillet dinner with quinoa instead. Just reduce the broth by about a half cup so itโ€™s not too soupy. I hope you love it!

    Looks like there are mushrooms in the pictures, but not in the recipe. I love mushrooms. How much did you use?

      So sorry, it should be corrected now! I used 8 ounces of sliced baby bella mushrooms and cooked them along with the sausage. Thank you, Phyllis!
