Ingredients
– 1 pound sausage links (any variety, such as smoked or Italian)
– 2 cups uncooked white rice
– 4 cups chicken broth or water
– 1 cup barbecue sauce (sweet and tangy style)

– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious One Pan Sweet And Tangy BBQ Sausage Rice:
1. Prepare Your Sausages: Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces. This increases the surface area and allows more flavor to absorb into the rice.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, toss in the diced onions and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Cook the Sausages: Add the sausage pieces to the pan. Cook until they’re browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes.
4. Add the Rice: Stir in the uncooked rice, making sure to coat it with the flavors from the sausage and vegetables. This adds depth to the final dish.
5. Pour in the Liquid: Add chicken broth (or water) and barbecue sauce. Stir well to combine everything. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
6. Simmer the Rice: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7. Final Touches: Once done, remove from heat. Allow it to sit covered for about 5 minutes to steam. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving and garnish with chopped parsley.
