Mom's Sausage and Rice



This was a staple when I was growing up.  When I told my mom I was making it last week, she said she was too!  Wonderful in the winter!  Perfect with veggies and dip on the side.

Ingredients
1 lb bulk pork sausage
1/2 onion, chopped
1 cup rice, uncooked
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
1/2 - 3/4 cup bell pepper, chopped (optional)

  1. In a large skillet with a lid, brown pork sausage.  When sausage is halfway done, add onion.
  2. When sausage is cooked and onion is tender, blot extra grease.
  3. Add rice, broth, and Worcestershire sauce and heat to boil.
  4. Lower to simmer and add veggies, if desired (I personally prefer not to have bell pepper).
  5. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until rice is done.
