Slice the sausage and brown it in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
Add the diced onion, pepper and celery and cook 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, Cajun seasoning and thyme for 30 seconds.
Stir in the rice to coat it, then add the tomatoes with their juice and the broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 20-25 minutes without stirring, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Rest 5 minutes covered, fluff with a fork, and top with sliced green onions. Use a mild sausage and go easy on the seasoning if your kids are spice-shy.
