Recipes and Foods For The Milk Free

I love coming up with random recipes with whatever I have on hand.  This is one of those recipes.  I came up with this last week the day before I went to the grocery store, AKA the day with little food in the fridge.   I had already been making sausage for my breakfast sandwiches so I just used the sausage that was left over but I’m sure this could also have been made with hamburger as well.

Dairy Free Recipe : Sausage and Rice

This made one serving

1/4 cup brown rice (cook according to package directions)

1/4 cup chopped carrot

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup cooked ground sausage

1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

I began by cooking the rice in its own pot then added the rest of the ingredients while there was still liquid in the rice.  This let the veggies cook some while the rice finished cooking. 

 This recipe did remind me that I think I would like a rice cooker.  Does anyone have one?  What do you think of it? Does it work as well on brown rice as white rice?
