I absolutely love a good rice dish. I will even go as far as making extra the night before, if Im planning to do a fried rice, arancini, or stuffed peppers! The “Vermont Cheddar” sausages from North Country Smokehouse were PERFECT for this dish. And, the other sausages they offer will also work extremely well with this! So, let’s start with a gorgeous sausage and rice dish with a creamy cheese sauce! After that, Ill show you in a different video for the steps in a stuffed pepper version.
You will need a digital scale
INGREDIENTS:
NIGHT BEFORE - 2 Cups Rice, XL Grain into a rice-cooker. Fill with water until you can reach your finger's first digit to the top of the rice. (Finger method). Cool before refrigerating over night.

Make sure you taste-test to determine if you would like more.
7.) Then, add your pre-cooked rice to the pan. Make adjustments to your seasonings after incorporating together. Mix well to avoid burning the rice.
