Equipment
- Large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
Ingredients
- 3 lbs fresh sausage, removed from casing
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 3 cups long-grain rice
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- ¼ cup minced garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp Slap Ya Mama White Pepper Blend

Instructions
Prepare the Sausage and Rice(One Pot)
- Brown the sausage: In a large heavy-bottom pot over high heat, add 2 tbsp cooking oil and the sausage(removed from casing). Break up the sausage with a wooden spoon, stirring constantly, and cook until well browned, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired, leaving about 1–2 tbsp in the pot for flavor.
- Toast the garlic: Reduce heat to medium, add 1/4 cup minced garlic, and stir gently. Toast the garlic slowly until golden, about 2–3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook the onion: Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and continue cooking until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add stock and seasonings: Pour in 4 cups chicken stock, add 2 bay leaves, 2 tbsp Slap Ya Mama White Pepper Blend, and dashes of Slap Ya Mama Cajun Hot Sauce (if using). Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil
- Cook the rice: Add 3 cups long-grain rice, stirring constantly until the mixture returns to a light boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and cook for 40 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Rest and fluff: After 40 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Remove the lid, gently fluff the rice with a fork, then replace the lid and let the rice rest for 10 minutes
Serve
- Garnish and serve: serve the rice hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Pair with your favorite gravy for sopping, if desired
