SIMPLE SAUSAGE AND RICE CASSEROLE



Simple Sausage and Rice Casserole image

Even the most picky eaters enjoy this simple dish. I have stretched the recipe to include as much as 2 cups of rice when feeding a larger crowd; I've also used brown rice instead of white rice. This brown rice lengthens the cooking time but does not significantly alter the taste (i.e, my children have never noticed the difference). Also, we prefer to use bulk sausage.

1 lb sausage
1 cup rice
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Brown the sausage and drain. Add all of the ingredients to a 9X13 (or 10X13) baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake, covered, for about 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sausage for the best flavor. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh meat and spices, and avoid brands that contain a lot of fillers.
  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Use a long-grain rice for the casserole. This type of rice will hold its shape better than a short-grain rice.
  • Season the casserole to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Bake the casserole for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the casserole is bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Sausage and rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
