Sausage and Rice Dinner

Don't you just love one-pot meals?  Well this one is an easy one that I'm sure you will love.

Sausage and Rice Dinner

1 box Jambalaya Rice (Rice-a-Roni or something like that)
1 stalk celery
1/2 onion, diced
Smoked Sausage
3 baby carrots (more or less)
2 Tbsp. butter
water

Dice carrots, onion and celery and saute' in butter in a large skillet until tender.  Add box of rice and the seasoning packet and water (according to packet).  Throughout the cooking process you will need to add more water.  Simmer the rice mixture in the covered pan for about 20 minutes.  Check it now and then because you may need to add more water.  Once the rice is tender, add the sausage and cook for another 10 minutes or so.  Still be sure to keep an eye on the water.  You don't want the liquid to cook down until the last few minutes of cooking.

Enjoy!
