Mexican Rice, Beans, & Sausage

  • 1 1/2 c. long-grain white rice
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 package (13-ounce) Mexican-flavored smoked turkey-and-chicken sausages, cut crosswise diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1 tbl. olive oil
  • 1 c. (14 1/2-ounce) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 c. water
  • 1 c. (15-ounce) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 c. (7-ounce) whole-kernel corn, drained
  • 2 tbl. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In 2 1/2-quart casserole or Dutch oven, combine rice, onion, sausages, and oil mixing to coat rice completely with oil.
  2. In 1-quart microwave-safe measuring cup in microwave oven or in saucepan over medium heat, heat broth and water to boiling. Pour broth mixture into casserole and cover.
  3. Bake rice mixture 30 minutes. Stir in black beans, corn, and cilantro. Cover and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until all liquid is absorbed.
  4. Use as a dip with tortilla strips or wrap in a burrito.
