I didn’t have salsa so I used the equivalent amount of rotel and I used bulk turkey sausage. Turned out really well. This recipe will go in the use again book. Thank you for sharing it!! ๐๐โจ
I’m so glad to hear it Cheri! Good job making adjustments with what you had!

Very good, and very easy. Would be great with browned hamburger instead of sausage, however the sausage was great it it also. With hamburger, this would make a great stuffing for stuffed green peppers. Was a lot like spanish rice. I used a “medium” salsa, and it was just right, heat-wise.
I love that idea Darrell! I may have to give that a try soon! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
