Ingredients

  • 1 C rice
  • 2 C water
  • 1 lb Italian chicken sausage mix (or just sausage)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Cook rice in 2 cups boiling water for about 20 min. or until cooked through.
  • In a skillet, brown 1 pound of ground Italian chicken sausage mix (or your own blend of chicken and sausage) in 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the meat is browned, add 2-3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
