1 pound Italian sausage (**I removed skin and the cut the sausage in small pieces)
½ cup chopped green or **variegated pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
**I Clove minced garlic
1 tsp. Dried basil or parsley**
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (**I used Hunts petite diced)including juice
2 cups vegetable juice from concentrate (**I used Campbell tomato juice)
1 ½ cups instant rice
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
***Note: I mixed mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese to top this easy dinner.
Remove from the heat and stir in rice. Cover the skillet and let stand until liquid is absorbed, 5 to 8 minutes.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over sausage, tomato, and rice mixture. Cover again and let stand until cheese is melted.
NOTE:
I used mild sausage for this recipe
And added about a 1/2 tsp. Red pepper
**For an added bite I would use hot sausage.
