🛒 Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 1 lb crawfish tails
• 2 cups uncooked rice
• 4 cups broth
• 1 can French onion soup
• 1 stick butter, sliced
• Optional: chopped onion
• Optional: chopped bell pepper

👩🏾🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the meat

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage until fully cooked. If using onion and bell pepper, sauté them with the sausage until softened.

2. Build the dish

Add uncooked rice to a baking dish. Pour in broth and French onion soup, then stir in crawfish tails and cooked sausage mixture.

If desired, add a little salt-free seasoning blend for extra flavor.

3. Add butter

Place sliced butter evenly across the top of the rice mixture.

4. Bake

Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for about 45–50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

5. Fluff & serve

Remove from the oven, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.
