Smoked Sausage, Broccoli & Rice Skillet

ingredients:

1 tsp. my house seasoning (equal parts garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper, combine and store in an airtight container)

1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced 1/4" thin (I prefer Nitrate free)

1 1/2 C. rice, cooked (I cheat and use 1 boil in bag)

1 C. extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

2 C. baby broccoli florets (I used frozen)

1 small onion, chopped

1 T. olive oil

1 T. butter

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over med. high heat. Add in the sausage, onions and bell pepper, cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to med. and stir in the broccoli, cover and cook until the broccoli is tender (my broccoli was frozen when I added it, so I cooked it until the moisture had evaporated from the skillet, about 8 minutes), stirring occasionally. Once the broccoli is tender, stir in the cooked rice and combine well. Turn off the heat and stir in the house seasoning and then the cheese. Combine well and serve.
