| Smoked Sausage & Cheesy Rice |
This tasty smoked sausage skillet dinner is a complete meal cooked in one pan. Quick, easy and totally delish.
It was love at first sight when I saw this posted on one of the recipe groups I run on Facebook!
A member shared this off a recipe page called “Janet’s Appalachian Kitchen.” This lady doesn’t have a website, just a Facebook page where she shares her wonderful recipes, otherwise I’d give a link, but she’s easy to find if you want to follow her page.

I love all the ingredients in this. I had kielbasa and used that in place of the smoked sausage. I can’t really tell the difference between the two to be honest. I also used fresh broccoli and had some frozen diced red bell peppers in the freezer. I did buy the extra-sharp shredded cheddar as Janet specified just that in the recipe–and with good reason. It makes it taste so much better than just regular sharp.
This was just so good, I couldn’t stop eating it!! You can’t ask for more than something abundantly tasty and so easy to make.
This is a wonderful way to use leftover rice too!

I'm sure they will! This was so good, I couldn't wait until the next day to have the leftovers for dinner–and it tastes fine reheated too 😉

This was so good! I made it with Jasmine Brown rice and used green peppers instead of red, but my husband swore it broke his flu fever after he ate it. Can’t wait to make again!
Judith Hanneman says
Wow that sounds great! And I never knew there was a brown version of jasmine rice!! Thank you so much because I have to get some of that!
