Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 2 medium bell peppers, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the gluten-free sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and diced bell peppers. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the gluten-free chicken broth, rice, diced tomatoes with juices, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet, mixing everything well.
Bring the mixture to a slight boil, then reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free sausage and rice casserole!
