Summer Sausage & Rice

A quick, hearty dish that’s as easy as it is flavorful — this one’s perfect for weeknights or campfire meals on the go. Frank keeps it simple and gluten-free using Zatarain’s rice mixes and Elkins Cattle Co. Summer Sausage for a smoky, satisfying bite.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg Elkins Cattle Co. Summer Sausage, finely diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 box Zatarain’s Jambalaya Rice Mix (Dirty Rice works great too — maybe even better!)
• 2 ½ cups water (per package directions)
• 1 tbsp butter or olive oil

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add butter or oil.
2. Toss in diced Summer Sausage and bell peppers. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until the peppers soften and sausage edges begin to crisp.
3. Add the dry Zatarain’s mix and water. Stir well to combine.
4. Cover and simmer per package directions (usually 25 minutes), stirring occasionally.
5. Fluff with a fork and serve hot.

Frank’s Tip

“I used the jambalaya mix, but the dirty rice would be just as good — maybe even better. The Zatarain’s brand is gluten-free and top notch in my book.”
