Spanish Rice and Sausage

Ingredients:

2 T Vegetable oil
1 Onion, diced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Pound Smoked sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 C Uncooked white rice
2 C Water
8 Oz Tomato sauce (or to taste)
1 T Mexican seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. 

Stir in the sausage; cook and stir until the sausage is crisp. 

Mix in the rice, water, tomato sauce, seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
