It's Throwback Thursday so I thought I would share another great alternative for the traditional bread stuffing. This Brown Rice and Red Bean Sausage Stuffing is not so traditional since it's rice, but it is fabulous. It's a very savory rice and beans with sausage and it would go perfectly well with all the other side dishes for Thanksgiving. We ate it as a main meal and my son and husband loved it to bits. The leftovers have already been spoken for in the lunch boxes so I know I must make this dish again. I used good quality hot Italian sausage, brown rice and red kidney beans so it was pretty healthy and nutritious too. I loved that I just used leftover brown rice from our rice and curry meal the day before. You can't beat getting a second meal out of leftover rice that has this flavor punch.
Ingredients:
5 cups cooked cold brown rice

1lb of hot Italian Sausage
1 medium onion chopped
2 stalks of celery chopped
1 bell pepper diced (or any sweet pepper)
1 Tbs of grated fresh garlic
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp of poultry seasoning
1-2 tsp fresh sage minced
black pepper and salt to taste to taste
2 Tbs soy sauce
red chili flakes (to taste)
