1 lb. Italian sausage (mild, hot, or sweet – depends on the flavor bent
you want)
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz.) stewed tomatoes (Italian style), cut up
1 pkg. read-to-serve long grain rice
1 tsp. prepared mustard (any kind you want…I used sweet hot)
½ tsp. garlic salt
½ tsp. fresh cracked pepper or white pepper
½ to 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 cup Italian shredded cheese
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink,
breaking it into crumbles; drain and remove sausage from pan.
Add olive oil to pan and heat up a bit, then add zucchini, onion, and
garlic; cook and stir 5 to 7 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Stir in sausage, tomatoes, rice, mustard, garlic salt, pepper, and
Italian seasoning; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for
at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Remove from heat; sprinkle with cheese; let stand, covered, 5 minutes
or until cheese has all melted.
