Dump sweet corn over smoked sausage

Sweet Corn & Smoked Sausage Skillet

• Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 lbs smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille), sliced into coin-sized rounds
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or drained canned corn)
• 1 medium bell pepper (red or green), diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: Fresh parsley or chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Brown the Sausage: Heat olive oil or melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the edges are nicely browned and caramelized.
2. Sauté the Veggies: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften.
3. Add the Corn: Stir in the sweet corn kernels, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Heat Through: Toss everything together and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through and absorb all the savory flavors from the sausage drippings.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot!

Quick Tip: If you want to turn this into a heartier meal, you can toss in diced potatoes or serve it over a bed of fluffy white rice.
