Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Start by preparing your rice. Depending on which kind you use this can take any where from 5-20 minutes. I used instant white rice so mine only took about 5 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, brown the sausage in a skillet on top of the stove until it is cooked through and no longer pink; then drain off any excess grease and place in a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients minus the cheese to the bowl and mix well.
- Place the mixture in an oven safe casserole dish, sprinkle with the cheese and bake for 30 minutes.
