- 1 small sweet onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1.25 cups long grain rice
- 2.25 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef sausage and cook until it develops a golden crust, breaking it into small pieces until no pink remains. Tip: Make sure to keep stirring to ensure even cooking.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Season with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the rice, ensuring it is well coated with the sausage and onion mixture.

- Once boiling, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Tip: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep the steam in.
- Stir in the broccoli, cover again, and cook for another 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the rice has absorbed the broth.
- Taste the dish and add more salt if necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy!
