- 1 Red Bell Pepper (chopped, substitute with any sweet peppers)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced, adjust based on preference)
- 1 cup Long-Grain White Rice (or brown rice, requires longer cooking)
- 2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 14.5 ounces Diced Tomatoes (undrained, or use fresh tomatoes)

- Add 13 ounces of sliced smoked sausage to the hot oil and sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned.
- Toss in one medium diced yellow onion and one chopped red bell pepper; sauté for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Add 1 cup of rinsed long-grain white rice, stirring well to coat the rice with the sausage and spices.
