    Tips & Tricks (5)

    • Sausage Browning Secret 🔥
      Remove the sausage from its casing and break it into small crumbles for maximum surface caramelization and better flavor integration with other ingredients.
    • Rice Absorption Technique 💧
      Let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes after cooking to ensure complete liquid absorption and prevent a watery final dish.
    • Vegetable Prep Pro Tip 🔪
      Dice the onions and bell peppers to uniform small sizes to ensure even cooking and balanced texture throughout the skillet.
    • Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
      Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese in layers and let it melt naturally off the heat for a creamy, evenly distributed cheese finish.
    • Flavor Layering Trick 🌶️
      Toast the rice briefly with the sausage before adding liquids to enhance the nutty flavor and prevent clumping.
