1 lb Smoked Sausage, cut into ½ inch diagonal slices
2 Cups Converted Rice
3 Cups Water
1 16 oz Can Stewed Tomatoes
1 ½ Teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
Sliced Green Onion Tops, garnish
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add frozen onions and peppers and sauté for 2 – 3 minutes. Add garlic and sausage and cook until sausage is just browned and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add rice, and stir to coat the grains in the drippings of the pan. Increase heat to high, add water, tomatoes, and seasoning; bring to a boil. When mixture reaches a steady boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 – 25 minutes. Serve, garnish with sliced green onions.
