Spanish Sausage

This is a meal that my Grandma Mollie used to make on her farm in southern Missouri. I always think of her when I make it. The only person in our family that doesn’t like it is my husband and we generally choose to make this when we are having some sort of ‘girls night’ at home.





Spanish Sausage

1 ½ lb ground sausage
2 (16 oz) cans diced tomatoes (undrained)
½ cup each: onion, green pepper, celery: finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons sugar
4 tablespoons flour
½ cup water
3 cups hot, cooked rice
Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

1. Shape sausage into 10 patties, brown over medium high heat and pour off half the fat.

2. Add tomatoes, onion, green pepper, celery, salt and pepper.

3. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

4. Put rice on a hot platter and put sausages on top of rice.

5. Blend flour and water until smooth and stir into sauce. Turn the heat up and stir until thickened.

6. Once desired thickness is reached, pour over sausage and garnish with parmesan cheese.
