Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 strips bacon
1 (16 ounce) package bulk pork sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup rice
2 tablespoons water
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the center of the oven.
  • Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon slices to a plate lined paper towels to drain, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet. Crumble the bacon once cooled.
  • Crumble sausage into the reserved bacon fat; cook and stir until the sausage is completely browned and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain sausage and set aside in a bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Heat olive oil in the skillet. Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, oregano, and sage in the hot oil until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine tomato sauce, rice, water, bacon, sausage, and the onion mixture in a baking dish with a lid; season with salt and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Cover dish with aluminum foil and the lid.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the rice is tender, about 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I was a bit hesitant to try this dish because I'm not a big fan of sausage, but I'm so glad I did! The sausage was mild and flavorful, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this dish again.
