Recipe Weekend: Product Review and Giveaway: Bryan Smoked Sausage and Dirty Rice

** this giveaway is closed **

Bryan Foods, the Flavor of the South, is excited to introduce its newest product; Bryan Premium Smoked Sausage, available in two mouth-watering flavors – Original and Hot & Spicy!

Made with high quality pork and beef, and perfect for barbeques, tailgates or even Sunday brunch, Bryan Premium Smoked Sausage is sure to be a hit with your friends and family! Bryan Foods items are only available in certain locations throughout the south, so you may NOT be able to get it where you live!

Bryan was founded in 1938 in Wes Point , MS and is a true Southern brand! They cover the gamut from bacon to sausage to lunch meat to hot dogs and are a staple in most Southern homes!

Bryan Premium Smoked Sausage adds a flavorful punch to big-dish recipes, like Bryan Premium Smoked Sausage-n-Dirty Rice, goes well with Sothern-style breakfast dishes, and is perfect for grilling with its thin diameter.  

 

Bryan Foods Premium Smoked Sausage -n- Dirty Rice
Serves four.

Ingredients
1 package Bryan Foods Hot and Spicy Smoked Sausage (or original if your taste buds prefer)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 white or yellow onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning powder
2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
4 cups chicken stock
1 scallion, chopped
hot sauce, optional

Note: If you live in the south, you can substitute a cup of holy trinity for the celery, onion and green peppers.

1) Remove Bryan Foods Hot and Spicy Smoked Sausage from package and cut into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices.

2) Heat oil in a heavy skillet pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook 4 minutes per side. Sausage should be lightly browned. 

3) Add onion, celery, and green bell pepper, and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and seasoning powder and cook 1 minute longer.

4) Add rice and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover pan. Simmer until all the stock is absorbed into the rice, about 20 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve sprinkled with scallion and hot sauce, if you prefer.

We tried the Original Smoked Sausage and made kiddo some Sausage Crescent Dogs, as she was having a hankering for them! It was great to be able to cut the length we wanted to go in the larger crescents, and be able to cut one into 2 for kiddo. We all loved the flavor, and we're big sausage eaters, having lived in Minnesota! We're definitely adding Bryan to our listed of sausages we buy!
