How to Make
-
Step 1: Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
-
Step 2: In a skillet with high sides or in a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in the sausage links, then cook them about halfway through (they will finish cooking in the oven). Remove the sausage from the pan, then slice them; set slices aside.
-
Step 3: Add in more oil if needed to the skillet, add the onion, red pepper, green pepper and jalapeno pepper and continue cooking until the peppers and onions are tender. Add in garlic and Cajun spice; cook for a minute or two longer, or until fragrant. Season everything with salt, black pepper.

Step 4: Return the sausage slices back to the pan then the rice, slowly stir in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Mix in sour cream and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, stir to combine. Cover with lid and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar on top. Place under the broil for about 3 minutes. Enjoy!
