Italian Sausage with Veggies & Rice

Yum!! This one was totally spontaneous. I had no idea what to make and had decided on lil smokies & mac'n'cheese but I had to throw out the milk because it was sour. I have to go to the store tomorrow. I'm running out of things. So needless to say all I really had was chicken rice and veggies...boring. I'm totally chickened-out. lol We had some 3 Italian Sausages left over. So I used them and thats how I made this dish served with yummy peach tea & frozen peaches. :-)

Ingredients
 1 cup Brown Rice
1 cup water
3 Italian Sausages
1 1/2 cup of mixed veggies
1 small onion (cut in strips)
Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1-2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions
Add Olive Oil to the pan and cook the onion about 3/4 the way and then remove. Add the Italian Sausages and cook the outside til golden brown (don't worry about the inside we'll get it later). Remove the sausages and slice them into chunks then add the onions and the sausages back to the skillet and cook thoroughly. Start the rice. Heat 1 cup of water to a boil and then add the rice. Reduce to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the onions and sausage from the pan again (Sorry this was a learning curve. lol). Add the mixed veggies and let simmer on low for about 2-3 minutes then re-add the onions and sausage. (Again I apologize for the removing and adding several times.) Remove the rice from the heat and let set for 5 minutes. When rice has absorbed most of the water add to the pan with the onion, veggies, and sausage. Sprinkle the Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning generously several times throughout before and after adding the rice. Mix well and serve!!! Serves 2
