Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1–1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup Rice Select Royal Blend -White, Brown, Wild & Red rice blend*
- 1 lb. spicy ground pork sausage, spicy or traditional**
- 1– 20-oz can apple pie filling, or 12-oz frozen Stouffer’s Classic Harvest Apples or 14-oz package Bob Evans Glazed Apples***
Instructions
- Prepare Rice: Place water and cinnamon in a medium-sized saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring water to a simmer, add rice, and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Brown Sausage: Remove sausage from the package or casing and place in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up with a fork or meat chopper and cook until browned – about 7 minutes. Drain off the fat.
- Heat Apples: Place apples in a microwave-safe dish large enough to serve the entree. Cook on high for 6 – 7 minutes for frozen apples or 3- 4 minutes for refrigerated or canned apples.
- Combine Ingredients: Add cooked rice and meat into the apple serving dish and stir to combine. Serve.
Notes
* I use the brand Rice Select Royal Blend that cooks in 15 minutes.
** I use Bob Evans in a tube: Hot & Zesty, Savory Sausage, or Original.
*** If using pie filling, remove some of the filling or it will be too sweet. See the Stouffer’s copycat recipe in the post.
Nutritional information includes pork sausage.
Serve with a salad kit that your family enjoys. Josie’s Organic Sweet Kale Chopped Salad Kit is in the photo above.
