Stuff You Need:
- Jimmy Dean Regular Pork Sausage Roll (32 oz.)
- Italian Stewed Tomatoes (4 x 14.5 oz can)*
- Steamed Rice**
Optional “Stuff”:
- 1 large vadalia onion, diced
- 1/2 tbsp italian seasoning
- salt + pepper to taste
*For the stewed tomatoes, if you can’t find ones that are seasoned, just add 1/2 tbsp of Italian Seasoning.
Often I just buy 2×28 oz. cans as they’re cheaper but 14.5oz is far more common.
**The amount of steamed rice to make is based on how many people you’re feeding – I typically do 2-3 cups of cooked rice for 4 people.
Form Sausage Patties and Brown it
Cut the patties from the roll using the guide lines on the package.
Heat a wide-bottomed pot over medium heat and brown the patties.
Personally, I like these very browned – this might look “burnt” but it’s pure flavor and not bitter/burnt.
Optional Sauteeing of Onions
Take ~ 1 tbsp of the fat/grease from the sausage and add to another skillet, heat over medium heat and sautee diced vidalia onions until very brown.
Growing up we never did this but this is my change to my Mom’s version.
If you opt not to do this, use a paper towel to remove the excess grease from the pan as it will float on top.
Before Adding Stewed Tomatoes, Cut Sausage Patties in Half or 4ths
Then add your stewed tomatoes and season with 1/4 tsp of black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt and if the stewed tomatoes were un-seasoned, add 1/2 tbsp of Italian seasoning..
Bring this mixture to a simmer.
Allow to simmer like this until the rice is finished.
Make Your Rice as per Package Instructions
Really any type of rice works – the goal of the rice is to soak up the liquid and to add bulk to the meal.
We use Carolina Long Grain White Rice in a rice cooker for ~20 minutes but I’ve used the boxed 5-minute stuff many times.
Assemble
Grab a bowl and add a layer of rice to the bottom – spreading it out.
Scoop a ladle-full of the sausage and stewed tomato mixture over the rice.
Enjoy.
