This recipe has all of the comfort vibes & most ingredients are in the pantry! It is all about getting supper on the table without any stress & it will be devoured immediately!

Ingredients:

• 14 oz. smoked sausage, or smoked jalapeño sausage with cheddar cheese
• 1/4 c. salted butter
• 2 c. uncooked rice
• 8 oz. angel hair pasta, or thin spaghetti pasta
• 4 c. water
• 2 T. chicken bouillon
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 8 oz. cheddar cheese, freshly grated
• 12 oz. frozen corn

Directions:

1. Chop the sausage into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large skillet with a lid, melt the butter, over medium heat. Add the sausage, then cook it until it is golden & crispy for a few minutes. Then add the rice & break up the pasta adding it to the skillet.
3. Let the rice & pasta toast for a few minutes. Or until they are slightly brown, which should take only 2-3 minutes.
4. Now add the water, chicken bouillon, garlic powder & onion powder. Then season everything with salt & pepper (to taste).
5. Cover with the lid, lower the temp to medium-low & let simmer for 15-20 minutes. Or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Open the lid & stir in the cheddar cheese. Then toss in the frozen corn. The heat from the rice will cook the frozen corn & it will keep the rice from getting gummy.

Pro Tip: Replace the rice, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder & pasta with 2 boxes (6.9 oz.) of Rice-a-Roni (or a similar product).
