One skillet, 25 minutes, Italian vibes. Sausage and peppers over rice is the kind of high protein dinner that requires almost no thinking on a tired evening.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add olive oil, swirling to coat evenly.
Slice Italian sausage links into ½-inch rounds and brown for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally for even coloring.
Add diced onion and sliced bell peppers to the skillet; sauté over medium, stirring for 6–7 minutes until vegetables are softened but still vibrant.
Stir in minced garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant, watching carefully so garlic does not burn.
Add uncooked rice, stir to coat with seasonings, then add 3 cups water; raise heat to high to bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes until rice is tender and most moisture absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes before fluffing and serving.
