Well tonight I made a new dish I created thanks to hubby. He complained we have been eating to much pasta and he was tired of it. This of course is after I made sure to have mash potatoes and meatloaf this week. Got to love my husband.  I came up with this tasty dish that even the kids loved.

2 lbs Kiebasa

14.5 oz can of diced tomatos with basil,garlic and oregeno

8 oz pepper stir fry (frozen food: green, red, and yellow peppers and onions)

3 cups instant rice

3 cups water and juice from tomatos

2 beef boulion cubes

Bring water, juice, tomatos and boulions to boil then add rice.Remove from heat and simmer for 5 minutes. In the mean time, Cut and cook Kiebasa after it starts to brown add pepper stir fry and cook to remove all liquid. Then combine rice and kiebasa together. Enjoy!

I made this for dinner last night. I have seen many diffrent varaitions on this dish and I decided to make it my own. For medical reasons, I can’t make it to spicy not to mention the kids wouldn’t like it, but add the spice to suit your family. This also makes enough for 8 good size servings. So my family of four is eating it for left overs. Next time, I think I will make it in 8 by 8 dish and freeze the other 1/2.
