In a caldero or a medium size pot over high heat, add the oil, tomato sauce, sofrito, sazón, adobo, and sausages. Sauté everything for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the sausages do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Add the water and wait for it to boil. Once the water is ready, add the rice, stir, and cover. Make sure you taste the water to make sure it is seasoned to your liking. If you feel like it needs more seasoning, you can add salt.
Cook for 8 minutes—or until most of the water has evaporated—and keep an eye on it to ensure the rice doesn't burn.
Una vez que casi no haya más agua alrededor del arroz, revuelve el arroz y muévelo al centro del caldero para hacer una pequeña cúpula para que se pueda cocinar. Tapa y cocina durante 25 minutos a fuego medio. ¡Buen provecho!
Once there is almost no water left surrounding the rice, stir the rice and move it to the center of the pot to form a dome so that it can finish cooking. Cover and cook for 25 minutes over medium heat. Buen provecho!

I used Carmela brand sausages for this recipe, but those from other brands work well too, like the Vienna brand.
For a moister rice, use 2 cups of water per cup of rice. But it will be very sticky.
Traditionally, this rice is made in a *caldero*, but you can use any pot, provided it has a lid.
