Quick Italian Skillet Dinner Recipe

This was delicious and super easy/fast. I pretty much followed the recipe as written, but I doubled it. I used a pound of Bob Evans italian sausage and a ring of Oscar Meyer selects italian herb "kielbasa style" sausage (I sliced it). I only had one can of crushed tomatoes, and since I doubled the recipe, I added a few fresh sliced tomatoes. I also threw in a little garlic, oregano, and basil. Super GREAT meal, and I my men loved it! Cheers to the recipe contributor!

This was delicious and will definitely make it again. I added a handful of sliced mushrooms and used one cup of regular rice instead of the instant rice. Also subbed two cups of water with two teaspoons of tomato chicken bouillon powder for the vegetable juice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I followed directions except i used egg noodles instead of rice because my Mother can't eat rice. It came out delicious! I'll be making this again and again.

Good recipe. I added a tsp of italian seasoning and garlic powder after adding the juice. I cooked the rice 18 mins then added to the boiling mix and let simmer for 5 then stir add cheese and cover and let sit for another 5. Came out great. Adding this to my list of regulars.

This has become one of my favorite dishes to make for my family. I buy the ground sausage to make it quicker. As my husband avoids carbs during the week and I don’t care much for rice, I drain the tomatoes thoroughly and leave out the vegetable broth. I melt the cheese over the sausage and serve over garbanzo beans for my husband and elbow macaroni for me!!! Quick, easy, and delicious.

This is a really tasty and easy recipe, I did add chopped garlic, basil and oregano. I didn’t have vegetable juice so used beef broth. I think next time I will use regular rice instead of quick rice and simmer it on low for a bit longer just to absorb some more of the liquid. This reheats really well and was just as tasty the second day.

I made this for my family tonight followed the recipe but added a 1lb of ground beef also and used fire roasted diced tomatoes and added yellow and red peppers. My family loved it. Will make this again. One thing I found faster I cut the Italian sausages first then cooked them.

This was surprisingly good. I used 1 can of V8 (about 1 cup). The juice from the tomatos was enough that I didn't need a second cup. I added another lb of sausage and I used less rice. Was very good and I'll make it again.

My family enjoyed this dish! The only changes I made were to use regular cooked rice, not instant, bc I didn't have any, added a little garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasonings, and red pepper flakes, and grated some Parmesan on top with the shredded mozzarella. Served with salad and garlic toast. 😋 Thanks for the recipe!

3 additions, two cloves of garlic with the meat and vegetables. Table spoon Italian spice to liquid and then at the end Ricotta!

Had to make a few substitutions based on what was on hand, but still turned out tasty. English bangers (sausage), medium and sharp cheddar instead of mozarella, and substituted the vegetable juice with chicken broth. Also had to add some olive oil when sauteeing the veg because bangers don't leave much grease. In the end, was a hit!

Quick and easy! Very tasty, too. I had some leftover rice so I used that instead of instant rice and reduced the vegetable juice a bit since it wasn't needed to cook the rice. I did add some seasoning that was omitted from the recipe, too: salt, pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, and Italian herbs. It was a big hit! Definitely goes in the regular lineup!

It sounds good, but I have a question, should I drain the diced tomatoes?

Very delicious and can be modified to your liking. I use cauliflower rice and less vegetable juice and of course more cheese.

This recipe was easy to make and was very satisfying! It reminded me of a meal my mom made when I was growning up. I followed the recipe as written. I usually end up tweaking something, but I resisted in this case. I'm always looking for easy recipes that don't taste easy.

Made this for brunch — everyone was obsessed.

I am rounding up to 4 stars since I used ground pork - that I added fennel seeds and Italian seasonings to - to try and replicate “Italian Sausage.” I think my efforts were only moderately successful and as such, will be sure I use some Jimmy Deans Italian next time. I did like that this was quick, easy and one pot. I don’t think this was anything special but again, perhaps my pork choice contributed. My instant rice was still not fully absorbed after letting sit for 10 min but it was soft - just lots of extra liquid in the pan. This is budget friendly and was decently tasty. Might try again with the right sausage. Thanks Red Gold!

Great dish, the only tweak I am going to make is less bell pepper next time. It overpowers the flavors of the skillet, but overall a great addition to our meal time!

Delish! We will add this to our rotation. I made a few revisions, but that's the beauty of these kinds of recipes. They are so versatile!

It's an easy to make tasty meal. I followed the recipe using bulk Italian sausage and even bought minute rice, I didn't feel like adapting the redicpe to use my brown rice.I popped the remainder in the freezer for defrost & heat meals.
