French Market Sausage Skillet

French Market Sausage Skillet

1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage or sliced smoked sausage
1 tbsp dehydrated minced onion
8-oz box Zatarain's New Orlean's Style French Market Vegetable & Rice Mix
15-oz can dark red kidney beans, drained
15-oz can stewed tomatoes
Water

Brown the sausage in a large skillet with the minced onion. Drain the tomatoes into a measuring cup, reserving the liquid. Stir the drained tomatoes, beans and rice mix into the browned sausage. Add enough water to the tomato liquid to make 2 1/2 cups and add that to the pan. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes or until rice is done and liquid is absorbed.

This was surprisingly very tasty for something that I just threw together without much thought. John loved it also but wanted it spicier so he added hot sauce to his double serving!
