Fun Food Fridays: Southwest Rice Mix-Up
Canned corn is a popular fishing bait in my family. Since we put about half the can into a sandwich bag to take with us that leaves half a can of corn at home or in the RV fridge. So, we came up with a quick, after-fishing snack that uses up the leftover corn. This is also a perfect, quick dinner when you roll back into camp late, after fishing all day, and the kids are hungry and all you have is leftovers!
INGREDIENTS
- Canned corn (NOT the corn that you fished with, the non-contaminated leftovers!)
- Breakfast sausage, patty or link
- Rice-a-Roni®
- Small can green chili
Prepare the Rice-A-Roni® according to the package directions. (If you’re like my family, you might have some leftover from another meal; for us, Rice-A-Roni® and trout go together perfectly!) While that’s cooking, prepare the breakfast sausage. Once the sausage and rice are cooked, crumble the sausage into the rice. Add in the corn and the chili (to taste) and heat until everything is warm.
This is also great without the chili.
