That means you\u2019re almost guaranteed soft, creamy rice without a burnt bottom or sticky mess.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is easy for this one. The biggest challenge is slicing the kielbasa and chopping the onions and peppers. In a busy week when you don\u2019t want to spend those precious evenings cooking, it\u2019s such a comforting dish to have waiting for you in the slow cooker.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Spanish Rice with Sausage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sausage:<\/strong> Use a smoked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kielbasa-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kielbasa-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">kielbasa<\/a> or Polish sausage that has already been cured.

Just make sure you heat the leftovers through thoroughly when you come back for more.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze Spanish rice and sausage?<\/h3>\n<p>This Spanish rice with sausage recipe is a great one for batch-cooking and freezing (for up to four months). To avoid clumps of frozen rice, spread the rice and sausage on a flat tray as it cools, then transfer it to freezer-safe bags. When it comes to reheating in the microwave, add a little water to keep the rice from drying out, or let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h2>Spanish Rice with Sausage Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2054997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Spanish-Rice-with-Sausage_TOHD24_19708_AnaStanciu_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Spanish rice with sausage recipe by Taste Recipes served on a large platter topped with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ana Stanciu for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can I serve with Spanish rice and sausage?<\/h3>\n<p>This is a side dish you can serve alongside chicken or pork straight off the grill. But it\u2019s also a hearty main dish that\u2019s great with a side of beans or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttery-cornbread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttery-cornbread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cornbread<\/a>. Try it too as the rice part of a pork, bean and rice burrito.<\/p>\n<h3>What other meats can you use in this recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>You could use chicken breast, thighs or pork instead of the Polish sausage (or alongside it). Sear the meat first, however, to remove that raw aroma that the less intense heat of a slow cooker doesn\u2019t always subdue.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best topping for Spanish rice and sausage?<\/h3>\n<p>To cut through some of that heavy carb texture and flavor, top each serving with chopped cilantro and a wedge of lemon. You can also provide sour cream, hot sauce or simple ketchup to bring some variety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband and I both work the midnight shift, so I&#8217;m always on the lookout for slow cooker recipes.

I live in the Southwest and have never tasted \"Spanish rice\" that tastes like this.  Maybe what we have here is \"Mexican rice\".  Just wasn't salvageable so took the cookies instead.  This went in the garbage.  Also, may I suggest, instead of using a vaguely stated ingredient, as in \"salsa\", specify a brand.  Maybe that would have helped, even though I like the taste of the salsa I used.  There are so many brands, each with their own flavor, that it leaves one at a loss as to which kind to use.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-05-05","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PamelaArquilla"},"reviewBody":"This comment is specifically for Josie.
