WILD RICE AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
This recipe is bi-cultural if you will - pork sausage from the South and wild rice from Minnesota, and I have to hand it to those folks from Minnesota on this one. We don't grow wild rice down here, but it is delicious, so I order my wild rice from a reservation store at Leech Lake, Minnesota operated by the Band of Ojibwe. Of course, I will point out that Leech Lake is very near the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Try this recipe - it is simple and delicious.
