Cheesy Kielbasa, Broccoli, and Rice Skillet

Another recipe I made a few weeks ago and have yet to post. I was going to post this earlier, but I got sidetracked with cheerleading business, which is soon to take over my life once the season starts in a month. Trying to gather up some volunteer coaches and get them certified is more work than you think...

Anyways, I love easy dishes where you can pretty much throw everything in a pan and give it a few stirs and have dinner ready in about 20 minutes. This was easy, flavorful, and inexpensive. That checks off all the boxes for a busy and budget-conscious family!

Cheesy Kielbasa Broccoli, and Rice Skillet
From Mom on Time Out

1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1 Kielbasa (I used a pork and turkey one), sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup white rice
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Kielbasa and brown for 3-4 minutes per side.
2. Remove with a slotted spoon and add onion and pepper and saute until translucent. Add rice to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes.
4. Without disturbing the rice, add the broccoli on top of the rice, recover and cook another 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in Kielbasa and 1 cup of cheese to combine.
6. Top with remaining cheese, recover, and let cook 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
