Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add sliced spicy sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions, garlic, and bell peppers until tender and fragrant.
- Stir in rice and spices (smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder). Cook for 2 minutes, then pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, add black beans, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is fluffy and cooked through.
- Return cooked sausage to the skillet, mix well, and heat through for a few minutes.
