Sausage and Rice bowls

I am having one of those "off" days- it was hard to get started and then when i did it was a mad dash to get it all done- I am still staring at 2 loads of laundry a dirty kitchen and 3 kids who need to be ready for school tomorrow, its just been a bad day.
and to make things worse.... I made tuna casserole and it was not edible- i should of known better than to go that road- i personally can't stand tuna casserole so to try to experiment... was just silly

so a quick trip to the store and $9 later i have some really good things going on in my kitchen!

Sausage bowls are quick and easy- my kids love them, i have to make two batches one without crushed red pepper and Tabasco- here is the one i make for Aaron and I

1 pound of Italian sausage (you can use hot if you want)
1 green pepper sliced
1/2 large white onion sliced
2-3 garlic gloves
1 tbl butter
1 tbl crushed red pepper (use the amount to your taste)
Tabasco

minute rice


in a skillet put a little bit of oil and cook your sausage (sliced) with 1 glove garlic (chopped) - when your sausage is fully cooked strain the oil in a colander. (get rid of the sausage grease etc)

In your skillet now will go 1 tbl butter, your sausage and another glove of garlic (chopped)  ,your onion along with crushed red pepper and a splash of Tabasco Cook over med heat let this go about 3-5 min. Next you will add your green pepper and cover with a lid remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve. you will want your green pepper and onion to be on the crunchy side better flavor.

by adding the green pepper last and covering it basically steams..

cook your rice to package directions... (EASY right!) and then add butter salt and pepper if you want.

You'll end up with a nice RICH garlicy sausage and a little heat  when combined with your rice... it really is good.
