- 2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 small chopped onion
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- Begin by cooking your rice according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a heavy skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through.
- Add in the chopped red bell pepper, minced garlic, chopped onion, cayenne pepper, smoked or sweet paprika, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet and add in the cooked rice and drained black beans. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes
- Use cooked rice that has cooled down in the refrigerator overnight for a more authentic texture.
- For extra heat, add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste.
- For a vegetarian option, you can omit the sausage and add in more vegetables such as diced mushrooms or zucchini.
- Make sure to drain any excess fat from the skillet before adding in the rice and beans.
