Red Rice And Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onions, green peppers, and celery. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the water, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling. Stir in the rice. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook covered, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered until time to serve.
• NOTE: I sliced my sausage into 1/4 inch slices and used 1 pound of sausage.

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, and brown on each side. Add the onion, garlic and green peppers to the skillet, and cook until soft, stirring frequently. Mix in the sausage, and cook until hot, then pour in the tomatoes. Cook just until heated through. Stir in the cooked rice and spaghetti sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer to a large casserole dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, then remove the lid, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Add onion, garlic, red pepper, and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is tender, 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until slightly thickened, 3 minutes. Add rice and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.

Steps:
