Recipe Tips

  • I recommend using beef sausages, but any type of sausage will work great.
  • The topping is optional, so you can save some time by skipping it.
  • You can use different types of  cheese in the topping for different flavored rice.
  • To ensure this recipe is gluten-free, make sure you double-check the ingredients on the Worcestershire sauce, cornstarch, and sausages. All these ingredients usually have gluten-free variants that you can pick up at your local store.
