LISA'S SAUSAGE-RICE CASSEROLE

Lisa's Sausage-Rice Casserole image

I found this version in a local farmers market cookbook. I made a few changes but the basic recipe is still the same. Most other versions call for dried chicken noodle soup mix which is hard to find here. Recipe calls for hot sausage but you can use the mild.

Tips:

To make a creamy, flavorful sauce for your casserole, use a combination of milk, cream, cheese, and seasonings.
Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole to add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
If you're using meat in your casserole, brown it before adding it to the dish. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
Don't overcook your casserole. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough. The best way to tell if a casserole is done is to insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the casserole is ready.
Let your casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
