Yummy. This was so good, and quite quick to prepare. I used mild Italian sausage and thought it went well with the other spices of other ingredients, but I could see where the hot Italian sausage would be wonderful, too (well that is if my family would just learn to like the hotter sausage as much as I do!). I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe, AZPARZYCH. Made for Zaar Stars tag game. -
As I never have instant rice I par boiled the regular kind and proceeded as directed. I added Italian Seasoning and garlic to our taste. Mild sausage was used which pleased DH to no end but personally I would like the hot sausage better. be that as it may, we both enjoyed our meal tonight and I would surely make this again. -
Made half a recipe for the 2 of us & used the mild Italian sausage, which, for us, worked just great. Easy enough to put together, & delicious in the eating. Thanks for sharing the recipe. [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag] -

This is a speedy, one dish meal that will fit into any hectic weeknight. I used 5 ounces of V-8 then topped it off with my homemade tomato juice. I love the spicy Italian sausage that I buy from our local grocer, it adds a lot of flavor to any dish. Made for 1~2~3 Hits ~ September 2010

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
