Sausage Risotto Skillet

I have been staring at these sausages in my fridge for a few weeks now. I got them in Costco because they were only 5 WW points each and I figured I could do something great with them. But until I was left with no other dinner options I finally decided to take them on.

The irony of this meal is I literally threw it together in about 20 minutes, I had no idea what I was doing until I did it, and my husband LOVED it. I spend hours making something and its just eh.....but this I throw together and its great. Go figure!

You can use any kind of pre-cooked chicken sausage in this dish. Next time I am going to add some fresh spinach too.

Sausage Risotto Skillet--this recipe has been edited. I mistakenly said to put the rice in before the onions but its actually the other way around. I realized this while making it again tonight--I am SO SORRY!
