Southwest Sausage and Rice
"This easy rice dish is a simplified takeoff of a Cooking Light risotto made with yellow bell peppers and sausage. The saffron rice mix gives the yellow color of the roasted bell peppers." --CL Reader

Super yummy!! I didn’t have Italian sausage so I used breakfast sausage… I had frozen elote corn, so I used that. I added kidney beans, and used cojita cheese instead of parmesan. And of course cooked rice in chicken broth. Which no matter the recipe I do either chicken, veggie or beef broth as it adds so much flavor to the rice!
Delicious the next day, too. Made a few small changes-- used 5.3oz saffron risotto mix, pork Italian sausage, fresh corn (2 stalks), and added a little onion, orange bell pepper, and mild jalapeno to the saute. Would definitely make this again and might experiment with other alterations.
Tasty, very easy, little clean-up. I used 12 oz. hot turkey sausage.
This has the most wonderful flavor! I took some reviewer suggestions and added red pepper and onion when cooking the sausage. I would like to add even more ingredients (maybe black olives) so I'll be experimenting with this recipe again and again.
This was good. The flavors were very tasty but aesthetically, it needed something red. Next time I will chop up a tomato or red pepper. I did have seconds, though. ;)
This came together in just over 20 minutes. Used chicken broth to cook the package rice. Cooked 1/2c chopped onion and 1/2c chopped red bell pepper with Trader Joe chipotle chicken sausage. Used low-fat shredded Mexican blend cheese instead of parmesan. Served with a CL black bean salad. Very easy to tweak to taste.
I liked this recipe, though my husband and kids didn't. It was too spicey for my 2 and 5 year old.
A definite fave. Delicious, and really quick and easy to put together. I usually serve it with stewed tomatoes and okra and a black bean salad. I make this a lot!
