Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 lb. Italian sausage
  • 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounce) salsa style tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup uncooked quick cooking rice (I use the jasmine)
  • kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

Instruction

  • In heavy stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat brown the Italian sausage and ground beef;  breaking up as you go.  About halfway through the browning process add the onions and bell peppers; stirring several times.   In the last minute of browning time reduce heat to medium low and add minced garlic; stirring constantly. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add beef broth, chicken broth and salsa style tomatoes and bring to a simmer.  Simmer for 15 minutes or until the peppers just begin to soften.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until rice is tender. For best results serve promptly.  Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
