  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 3-4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  • Combine sausage, onions, peppers, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes in a large skillet. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until sausage is no longer pink and onions are tender. Stir in green onions and rice.
  • Slowly pour in tomatoes, tomato sauce and 3 c. chicken stock. Stir in seasonings. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and slowly simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
