One of my favorite dishes I make at Thanksgiving is Wild Rice & Sausage Casserole. And, while it’s great, it’s a little time-consuming considering it has to go in the oven. So, I decided to try a little variation, use Italian sausage in place of breakfast sausage, add spinach, and do it in the skillet. Turns out, this makes a nice, quick standalone meal! The Italian sausage has enough spices that you don’t really need to add any more seasoning. My kids both gobbled it down!
Sausage, Spinach, and Rice
What you need:
1 pound Italian sausage, hot or mild, casings removed
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 pound fresh spinach, chopped
2 cups cooked rice, wild, brown, or white, your choice
Grated Parmesan cheese
How to make it:
Break up and brown sausage in a large skillet. Add onions, and continue to cook until onions are soft and translucent. Add spinach, and cook until wilted. Stir in rice and cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Serve into bowls and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese onto each serving.
