Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the smoked sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing it with the vegetables and eggs.
Return the smoked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.
Pour in the soy sauce and hot sauce, if using. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add more vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini. You can also substitute the smoked sausage with cooked chicken or shrimp for a different protein option. If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. For a more traditional Southern twist, consider adding a touch of Cajun seasoning.
