Sausage Vermicelli

This is something you could throw together pretty quick. The longest thing to do is cook the rice. Ember loved it. Jaxen ate it. Owen didn't eat much (but he never does). Shaunton and I both liked it. It is a keeper.

Sausage Vermicelli
1 lb pork sausage                     4 1/2 C water
1 onion, chopped                     1 C uncooked long grain rice
1 C celery                                2 pkg chicken noodle soup mix

Cook the sausage, onion and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain.
Remove meat and vegetables with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same skillet, combine the water, rice and soup mixes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in sausage mix, heat through.

Mo tips: Cook the sausage and stuff on medium high...or even high. I hate waiting for the meat to cook. As long as you are standing there and stirring, you'll be fine.
