Unstuffed Peppers

  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 lb. Italian Sweet Sausage (or sub. turkey sausage)1 Box Rice-a-roni long-grain wild rice1 Tbs. EVOO2 Green Bell Peppers, chopped1 Red Onion, chopped10 oz. White Mushrooms, sliced
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water, the rice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boil. Cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 20-25 min. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for about 10 min. note- I left the season packet that came with the rice-a-roni out.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown sausage, break it up into bite-size pieces. I rinsed my sausage with water when it was done to get some extra grease off, and then set aside. Return skillet to heat and add 1 tablespoon of EVOO with the Bell peppers, Red onion, and Mushroooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until veggies are crisp-tender, about 5 min. Add the sausage and rice to the skillet with the veggies and let it cook together for ~5 min on low. Serves 5.
