Skillet Smoked Sausage Fried Rice Recipe
This Smoked Sausage Fried Rice is colorful, loaded with flavor, and prepared in a skillet. A perfect family meal!
My boys love sausage in any form, so this recipe was a big hit with them. Even the four year old loved it. My favorite thing about it is that it is packed with veggies, so I don’t need to dirty another pan to make them. Plus they give it a great crunch- just make sure you don’t overcook them!
This meal is ready in under 30 minutes, and that’s always a bonus for a busy mom. I start a batch of rice cooking in my rice cooker first thing. By the time the veggies are chopped and cooked, the rice is done and ready to add. If you have leftover rice, it is even easier to prepare!
I served this with slices of watermelon and cantaloupe for a delicious meal that the whole family loved. Enjoy!
