1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
14 ounces, weight Smoked Sausage, Sliced In Half-moon Pieces
1 Large Yellow Onion, Diced

1
Steam rice by placing rice in the water. Bring to a boil, place lid on pot and turn it down to simmer for about 20 minutes. Set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and start cooking sausage, onion, bell pepper and celery. Continue to cook until onions are translucent. You may have to add a little water to the skillet to get all the good stuff off the bottom of the pan. Once onions are translucent, transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
4
In the same pan, cook ground meat and add Creole seasoning, pepper, and garlic. Once meat is cooked, add it to the mixture in the mixing bowl and stir. Stir in rice. Add drained tomatoes and canned black eyed peas. Mix well.
5
Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish prepared with cooking spray. Top with pepper jack cheese, followed by cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
6
Let sit for 20 minutes before serving.
