Sausage And Rice (Crock Pot)

Today I decided to post a recipe for a crock pot. There is a lot of sodium in it, so you might want to buy low sodium ingredients, or no sodium. This is really easy to make. Just fry up the meat, cook rice and put all the ingredient in the crock pot, stir and cook on low. You can also just put the uncooked rice in the crock pot and add the amount of water the package suggests. , that's what I do. Crock pots are great for those busy days. You just need to remember to start the preparations at the allotted time for your meal. Enjoy!
