Apple, raisins and spices give this tasty sausage-rice casserole a taste of autumn. We enjoy it with a green salad on a cold fall day. It would be a nice potluck dish, too-just double the recipe if needed.

AUTUMN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE (IN THE CROCK POT )
Easy peasy recipe adapted from A Year of Slow Cooking. After looking through the reviews at her blog, I see that cooks who used a 6.5 quart crock pot had problems with this cooking too much. My crock pot is a 4 quart size and I have not experienced that problem. I do think the stirring is a good suggestion and have changed the directions accordingly. You could use any sausage you want but the sausage does need to be partially cooked or smoked. Try chicken with artichokes, chicken with apple, kielbaska, Italian, andouille, or whatever sausage your family enjoys. This uses LEFTOVER rice so plan for that. I love leftovers. :) This could be gluten free if you are very careful with your choice of sausage.

Steps:
- If you are going to use uncooked sausage, brown on the stove top, and drain before adding to the crockpot.
- Otherwise, line your 4 quart sized crock pot with a slow cooker liner, dump ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the orange vegetable is tender.
- STIR once during the cooking time. I have not made this on high but am guessing an hour with more frequent stirring.

Steps:
- The Directions.
- The amount of ingredients fit nicely in a 4 quart crockpot. I'd say this comfortably feeds a family of 4-5 with a bit of leftovers. If you have a large family or teenagers, add more rice and sausage. It's a pretty easy recipe to adapt to your needs.
- If you are going to use uncooked pork sausage, I'd recommend browning on the stove top, and draining before adding to the crockpot.
- Otherwise, dump all the ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4. You're really only heating through, and allowing the vegetables to soften.
- This will not stick together like a gloppy casserole; it has the consistency of fried rice. Use bowls to serve rather than plates.
Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage for the best flavor. Look for sausage that is made from fresh, locally-sourced meat and has a good fat content (at least 20%).
- If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can also make this casserole in a large skillet or braising pan.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, simply brown the sausage and vegetables, then let the mixture cool completely. Store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the mixture over medium heat until warmed through.
- Serve the casserole with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Conclusion:
Autumn Sausage Casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The sausage, vegetables, and spices come together to create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
