I don't know about you but if I can make dinner every night of the week in one pan, I'm all for it! The less dishes to place into the dish washer the better off I am. I loathe kitchen clean up. From all the knives and cutting boards from the prep to the pile of pots and pans it took to cook dinner in, I'm over it. I am all for looking for more of these one pan meals! 

I need to do a whole post on one pan meals so that this summer when time is short we can all benefit from being in the kitchen less. Maybe I'll do that. But until then, you can check out some of our favorites:  One Pan Jerk Chicken and Rice, One Pan Balsamic Chicken and Asparagus, One Pan Buttermilk and Herb Pork Chops and Vegetables, One Pan Chicken and Potato Bake, and Cheesy Tuna Pasta Skillet.

Anyways. This One Pan Skillet Sausage and Rice is so good! I am not a huge fan of the green bell pepper, however this dish wouldn't be the same without it. It's a must! And you know what? It was delicious! Maybe I'm a bigger fan then I thought. We used smoked beef sausage in this dish, but you could change it up to turkey or chicken, if that's what y'all like better.
