Spanish Rice

Ingredients

• 1 pound Jimmy Dean sausage* (or similar packaged pork sausage)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 3 1/2 cups canned tomatoes
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

• Saute sausage in large skillet.
• Remove sausage and pour out fat all but 2 tablespoons or enough to fry onion and rice.
• Cook onion and rice in fat until golden brown.
• Add remaining ingredients and sausage.
• Bring to a boil.
• Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until rice is tender.
• Add extra water if needed

* I like to use ½ lb regular sausage and ½ lb hot sausage for extra flavor and spice.
