Fresh Sausage & Yellow Rice Spicy One Dish Meal

Sausage FeastImage by danpeters via FlickrTake 1.5-2 pounds of fresh large link sausage (cooked and cut into bite sized pieces), 5.5 cuts of chicken broth (can use some water to make up the difference), 1 chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (not powder) and place into a very large pot on the stove (dutch oven sized).  Bring to a boil then add 1 pound of saffron yellow rice (Mahatma brand), stir, reduce to low, and cover with a tight lid for 20 minutes.  Let sit about 5 minutes with lid on after 20 minutes (off the stove eye).  Mix well and serve.  If you read the back of the rice package I am using 5.5 cups liquid and omitting the margarine instead of the 5 1/3 cups liquid called for on the bag.  This makes a wetter mixture.  Use the 5 & 1/3 like the package says if you want it to have less liquid.  We save our chicken broth in the freezer every time we cook a chicken so this is what I used (minus the tallow).  You can used canned broth if you need to.  I hope you enjoy this easy, inexpensive meal.
