EASY SAUSAGE AND RICE



Easy Sausage and Rice image

My mom has been making this as long as I can remember. She found the original recipe on a box of rice in the 80's. She always served it as an entree but I make it as a side dish because it's not enough for my meat and potatoes man. You can spice it up by using hot sausage. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Tips:

  • Use medium-grain rice. This type of rice is best for breakfast rice because it is less starchy and has a slightly chewy texture.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the rice.
  • Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. This will produce a fluffy, tender rice.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
  • Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  • Serve the rice immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, and gravy.
