Dirty Rice with Italian Sausage

Ingredients

1/2 pound of italian sausage(not in the casings)
1 large onion finely chopped
1 green bell pepper finely chopped
1 stalk of celery finely chopped
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp crushed red pepper(optional)
1 cup long grain white rice
3 cups of water

Directions

Turn ninja to stovetop medium and brown meat until done. Drain excess grease if there is any. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic salt, rice, and water
to the Ninja. Stir all together and turn the ninja to slow cooker low for 3 hrs. Cook covered with the lid. I placed a towel between the lid and the ninja to catch the excess moisture. After about 3 hours, turn off the Ninja, allow time to cool and enjoy.
