SPANISH RICE AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Try this great skillet meal anytime for comfort food at it’s best.  Made with Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage and served with cornbread muffins. Your family will love it!

1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (7 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 clove of garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced in rounds, I use Hillshire Farms (could use turkey sausage, hamburger or turkey burger)
dash hot sauce (optional)
Brown rice, onion, celery and green pepper in butter.  Add broth, mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, tomatoes,  sausage and hot sauce.   Cover and let simmer for about 25 minutes until rice soaks up liquid.
Makes about 6 to 8 servings. Serve with my recipe for Cornbread Muffins!    Enjoy!
Note:  If you use hamburger or turkey burger, you would brown it with the rice, onions, peppers and celery.

  6. This lools so comforting. I love meals like this. Glad you got to enjoy a day outside. It is hard work but so worth it in the end. I am adding this to my menu next month.

  7. I make a similar dish, but add a spicy sausage, and shrimp! We eat this probably 3 or 4 times a month!

  8. wonders how this would do in a crockpot?
