Assemble all necessary ingredients.
In a large pot, brown the sausage with the onion and garlic.
Add the green bell pepper and celery, cooking and stirring for an additional 3 minutes.
Combine the rest of the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil.
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and let it cook until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally. This should take approximately 40 to 50 minutes.
