This cheesy sausage, rice, and spinach skillet is also great for meal prep: Just package it out in lunch-sized portions for reheating throughout the week.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about two minutes, until shimmering. Add sausage and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Add onion and saute for another two minutes, or until onion is tender.
Add garlic and continue sauteing for another 30 seconds. Stir in rice and continue cooking over medium heat for two minutes, stirring occasionally, or until rice is slightly toasted.
Pour in the broth and bring to a boil, stirring to incorporate any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer covered over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Fluff the rice, then stir in one cup of the cheese. Keep the skillet over medium-low heat as you add in the spinach a handful at a time, stirring it in bit by bit until the cheese is melted and spinach is wilted.
Turn off the heat under the pan and top the sausage rice mixture evenly with half a cup of shredded cheddar.
Replace the lid, and let everything sit undisturbed for another two minutes to melt the cheese on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
Slightly toasting the rice in the skillet before adding liquid gives you some yummy crunchier bits at the end.
