• ¼ stick unsalted butter

• Onion powder, to taste

• Italian seasoning, to taste

• ½ cup water

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage and Tomatoes

• In a frying pan over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and ½ cup of water.

• Poke small holes in the sausages on each side to help them cook evenly.

• Add the sausages to the pan and cook over high heat.

• While they’re cooking, dice your beefsteak tomato into small cubes.

• After a few minutes, add the diced tomatoes to the frying pan with the sausage.

• Let everything cook together until the sausages are fully done and the tomatoes are soft and bursting with flavor.

2. Prep the Rice and Beans

• While the sausage is cooking, microwave the jasmine rice (follow the 90-second instructions on the bag).

• Once done, place the hot rice in a bowl and mix in ¼ stick of unsalted butter.

• Open and drain your can of kidney beans, then add them to the rice.

• Sprinkle in your onion powder, Italian seasoning, and chives to your liking. Mix everything together well.

3. Plate and Serve

• Once the sausage and tomato mixture is cooked through, remove from heat and let it rest for a minute.
