Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add beans, broth and seasoning. Cook for 10 minutes.
Stir in rice and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Notes
If you are using long grain rice, partially cook it before adding to the pan.
