This is an easy, gluten-free, stove-top meal that is usually liked by all. Spanish rice is a nice side by itself, but if you add sausage, it becomes a main dish. Serve it with a garden salad, and it’s a tasty summer meal that doesn’t require the oven.
If you like Spanish rice, you might be interested in trying Lynn’s Mexican Style Quinoa. Personally, I think it’s a great idea, especially if your family is not fond of quinoa, and I hope to try it soon.

We do sausage meals like this often. So easy and flavorful!
This looks so yummy, Linda!! I haven’t been able to find a general GF sausage (beside chicken sausage) to use in cooking (that is good). What brand do you use?
