This Italian Sausage and Rice Skillet is one of those go-to recipes that I love to whip up on a busy weeknight. It's inspired by the hearty, comforting flavors of Italian cuisine, but with a Midwestern twist that makes it perfect for a family dinner. The chewy texture of the rice combined with the savory sausage creates a dish that's both satisfying and easy to make. Plus, it all comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to relax after a long day.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, which adds a refreshing contrast to the hearty flavors of the skillet. You might also consider serving it with some crusty bread to soak up any extra juices, or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
