Spicy Sausage Skillet

This dish is amazing! I didn't have to tweak it AT ALL! Perfect. What I love about this dish is it only uses one pan! Yay for little cleanup! Awesome!

*Note: I find mild Rotel to be plenty spicy. If you like the heat, feel free to substitute medium or hot instead.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
2 tbsp. dried onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups chicken broth
1 10 oz can mild rotel
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz campanelle pasta (if you can't find it, use penne)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups Monterey jack cheese, shredded

Directions:
Heat oil over medium high heat in an oven safe skillet until hot. Add sausage and cook until lightly browned.
Add onion flakes, garlic powder, broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, 1 cup of cheese, salt, pepper and stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover skillet. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender.

Remove skillet from heat and top with the next cup of cheese. Broil until cheese is brown, bubbly and delicious! Enjoy! :0)
