Cajun Rice Dressing

One of my favorite all time receipts is Cajun Rice dressing. The receipt follows.

Ingredients:

Rice

1 package of Jimmy Dean Hot sausage

1 cup celery 1 cup onions

1 cup green bell pepper

2 Tbls olive oil

2 cups of rice

Preparation

In a medium size pot prepare the rice, 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of water. Add a tablespoon of oil and a teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil and then turn down the heat to medium. I never strir my rice, some do and it seems to turn out alright. I prefer to let the rice, water and pot do its own thing and I usually get good results.

In a skillet, put a small amount of oil (Olive oil preferably) , Add the sausage.  Brown thoroughly, then add the onions, celery and bell peppers and the seasoning.

Cook the ingredients until the sausage is well done and the vegetables are translucent or semi-soft

Turn the heat to low on the meat and vegetable mixture. Remove the rice from the bowl you cooked it in and fold it into the meat mixture and vegetable mixture, making sure the mixture is blended into the rice. 

Serve immediately. This dish has a tendency to cool rather quickly so make sure you are ready to eat before completing the cooking.

This dish is a favorite anytime, but around our household it is a necessity for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. If you want to spice up your next covered dish get-together this dish will be a winner I am sure. Good eating!
