Butternut Sausage Rice

1 onion, chopped

4 c. butternut squash, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

4 leaves sage, chopped

2 Tbsp. thyme, chopped

1 lb. hot Italian sausage, broken up

1 c. rice

3 c. chicken or vegetable stock

Salt & pepper

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.
