Sausage & Rice Skillet image

I was inspired by another recipe on this site that called for peas & mushrooms. Hubby is phobic to both of those ingredients so I came up with this recipe as a way around it. It draws more on my cooking background with the addition of onions, bell peppers, and celery. **NOTE** You can substitue Turkey sausage to lower the fat and also substitute low sodium soup to bring down the sodium in the recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
1 lb fresh sausage (I use bratwurst)
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 cup water
1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet and add the celery. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes then add the onion. Cook this until onion is starting to turn translucent or become soft.
  • Remove casings from sausages and add the ground pork/sausage to the skillet with the onion mixture and cook until no longer pink.
  • Add the rice, mixing thoroughly into the sausage mixture and then add in the soup, chicken stock, & water.
  • Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and allow rice to cook. This should take around 15-20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with 3/4 of cheese and mix all together. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 of cheese on top let stand for 5 minutes.
  • NOTE: I've only made this with Cream of Celery soup. From what I understand Cream of Mushroom will not work per original recipe's author. The Cream of Celery soup is essential to the flavor.
