For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic along with the onions and peppers. Use your favorite type of Italian sausage, such as sweet, mild, or hot, depending on your preference. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach. To make this dish even richer, stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the diced tomatoes. If you don't have instant rice, you can use regular rice, but you will need to increase the cooking time and liquid accordingly.
