Creating this incredible Sausage Dirty Rice (Gluten-Free) is not only easy but also fun! Follow these steps to perfection:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the gluten-free sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as you go. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: Once the sausage is cooked, add olive oil, the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they become soft and fragrant, roughly 5-6 minutes.

3. Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the rice and let it toast slightly for about 2 minutes. Then, pour in the chicken broth, adding the Cajun seasoning, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

4. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high until the mixture reaches a boil.

5. Simmer: Once boiling, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and has absorbed most of the liquid.

6. Fluff the Rice: After cooking, remove the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and color.
