MEXICAN FIRE RICE

"The 'fire' in this great recipe is determined by whether you use mild or hot sausage. Ditto for the picante sauce."

2-2/3 cups water
1-1/3 cups uncooked long grain white rice
1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage (mild or hot, your choice)
1 (16 oz) jar picante sauce
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
8 ozs cheddar cheese, shredded*

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until evenly brown.
In a medium baking dish, mix the cooked rice, cooked sausage, picante sauce and sour cream. Top with cheddar cheese.
Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is bubbly.

*My family prefers the Mexican cheese mixture instead of cheddar cheese, but that's just our particular choice. They like the way the cheese 'strings' when it's hot.
