Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 cups long grain white rice

  • 4 cups water

  • 3 slices turkey bacon

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 1 (16 ounce) package smoked turkey sausage, halved and sliced

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, drained

  • 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

  • dried Italian seasoning to taste

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Set aside.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, and brown on each side. Add the onion, garlic and green peppers to the skillet, and cook until soft, stirring frequently. Mix in the sausage, and cook until hot, then pour in the tomatoes. Cook just until heated through. Stir in the cooked rice and spaghetti sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer to a large casserole dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.

  4. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, then remove the lid, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Banana Bread Pancakes

Banana Bread Pancakes

If you're a fan of our banana bread, then you're gonna love this, since it's based on that recipe. As easy as that is to make, these are even easier. I really think that this threads the needle between something that has the flavor of banana bread, but that is very close to the texture of a classic pancake. Top with butter and banana slices and serve with warm maple syrup.

Bánh mì sandwiches are delicious. I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.
