Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
0.5 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can RED GOLD® Diced Tomatoes
2 cups RED GOLD® Vegetable Juice from Concentrate
1.5 cups instant rice
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes, ensuring it's no longer pink. Drain any excess grease. Add the bell pepper and onion, cooking until they reach desired crispness. Incorporate the diced tomatoes and vegetable juice, bringing the mixture to a boil while stirring.
Take the skillet off the heat source and stir in the rice. Cover the skillet tightly and allow it to sit until all the liquid has been fully absorbed, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sausage, tomato, and rice mixture. Cover the skillet once more and let it stand until the mozzarella cheese is completely melted and gooey.
