Provided by Julee

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4" slices
2 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz campanelle pasta (or penne)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a 12-inch oven safe skillet until hot. Add sausage and cook until lightly browned.

Remove skillet from heat and stir in half of the cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sausage: Select a flavorful sausage that complements the other ingredients in the dish. Italian sausage, chorizo, or breakfast sausage are all great options.
  • Slice the Sausage Thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a Large Skillet: This will give the sausage and vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Don't Crowd the Skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the sausage and vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the Sausage Until Browned: This will give it a nice crispy texture.
  • Add the Vegetables: Once the sausage is browned, add the vegetables and cook until they are tender.
  • Add the Sauce: Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the sauce and simmer until heated through.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

This spicy sausage skillet is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking. Serve it with rice, pasta, or potatoes for a complete meal.
