Step 1

Place a wide, high-sided skillet or pot over high heat. Add the beans, Rotel, broth, bell pepper, onion, rice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the pot.

Step 2

Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the sliced sausage. Cover. Continue to simmer until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes for white rice).

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat. Uncover and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
