Smoked Cajun Sausage With Rice N' Beans

In a medium sized sauce pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add in the 2 links of sausage, brown on each side. Add in chopped yellow onion and continue to cook. Remove sausage links. Add in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add in rice, garlic, tomato, chili powder, and black pepper. Turn heat to low and let rice cook until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Chop sausage and return to pot with rice. Continue cooking until sausage is fully cooked. Add a touch of salt, stir and serve with shredded Smoked Cheddar Cheese and a dab of sour cream!
