Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 48 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 3 minutes
Servings 8 -10 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 4-6 smoked sausages
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 3 cups of long grain white rice
  • One 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes
  • 4 to 5 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • Drain the can tomatoes but save the juice, we're going to use it to cook our rice. Combine the tomato juice and chicken broth to make 6 cups of liquid. We will use this liquid to cook the rice. Set this aside until ready to use.
  • Start with a large Dutch oven with a lid. Place the pot over medium heat, add the oil to the pot and brown the sausages for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the chopped onion and bell pepper, saute them until they are soft. Stir in the rice and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the strained tomatoes.
  • Pour the juice broth combination into the Pan add the Bay leaf and salt. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes. Cover the pot and place it in a 350゚ oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and check to see if done, all the liquid should be absorbed.
