Sausage and Spinach Fried Rice | Large Family Freezer Meals
Fried rice is nothing new for the Stewart family. I have already written about the chicken fried rice we love. And I mentioned in that post that you could use any meat you like or have prepared in your fried rice. So I decided to do just that when I pulled together this Sausage and Spinach Fried Rice large family freezer meal.
I got some 5-lb bags of precooked mild sausage slices during a recent trip to my local Sharp Shopper and I knew they would be perfect for my huge batches of fried rice!
This recipe is almost identical to the chicken fried rice except for a couple of things. The first is, I used the mild Italian sausage. I also added spinach to these pans. And then, I went kind of all large family mom meal stretching and threw in a #10 can of green beans along with the 5-lb bag of frozen mixed veggies while I was at it.
I hope your family loves this fried rice as much as we do! xoxo

PinIngredients
5 lbs precooked mild Italian sausage slices
2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup sesame oil
5-lb bag frozen mixed veggies
2 16-oz bags frozen spinach
18 scrambled eggs
16 cups precooked rice
Instructions
I cooked my rice in my 14-qt GoWISE electric pressure cooker. You can use a pressure cooker or just cook it in a big pot on the stove. You know Jamerrill is all about making it work for you. : )
Dump veggies into a pot with the 1/2 cup of sesame oil and toss on medium heat until completely thawed.
Combine the cooked rice, veggies, sausage or other meat, spinach, scrambled eggs and soy sauce in whatever huge pots or bowls you have. You might have to use several bowls or pots to get it all mixed up. Just do what you can and get it all stirred together.
Once it’s all combined, divide it evenly among your baking pans.
