Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 Tbsp. butter, divided
• 1 lb. sausage, cut into bite size pieces
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 tsp. garlic salt
• 1 cup white rice, rinsed
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth

Directions:

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the sausage and cook until lightly browned. Add in the onion and garlic salt and cook until onion is tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
