“This is a rice recipe with a different little kick. You can either make it as hot or as mild as you like it, depending on your taste for spiciness. This serves as a great side dish or for a 'quick fix' meal.” - by CHAUNIH

1 1/3 cups uncooked long grain white rice
1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
1 (16 ounce) jar picante sauce
