Heat the oil in a large skillet to medium. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes then add the garlic for 30 seconds before adding the sausage slices. Brown the meat 5-6 minutes then add the rice. Stir and heat 1-2 minutes then pour in the broth. Add the seasonings, corn, black beans and hot sauce. Bring to a boil and scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes.

Finally, still  on low temp, cover for 10-15 until most of the liquid is absorbed.
