I love one-pot meals because you have everything in one bite. Really, all you need is any type of protein, any type of starch, any type of veggie, and one pot. I call it a win-win for everyone.
These types of meal recipes are always great to have on hand. Also, they make great make-ahead meals and all you have to do is reheat when ready to eat.
Ingredients

Step 1
In a 4-quart pot, heat oil on medium to high heat. Place onion and carrots, and sautee for 3-5 minutes until they become translucent.

Step 2
Then add your sausage to the pot, and cook until no longer pink, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 3
Add the rice; mix well.

Step 4
Add the beef broth; mix well and bring to a boil and then to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until rice is fully cooked.

Step 5
When it’s done, serve it with chopped parsley.
