Butternut Sausage Rice

4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 leaves sage, chopped
2 Tbsp. thyme, chopped
1 lb. hot Italian sausage, broken up
1 c. rice

Add to your favorite slow cooker or Instant Pot and cook on the soup or stew setting.
Serve with: a pat of butter, sprinkle salt & pepper, sprinkle crushed red pepper and possibly something crunchy. I added pepitas to this dish, but slivered almonds or pine nuts would also be good.
