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.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- In same skillet saute onion, celery, carrot and bell pepper over medium high heat until just beginning to brown lightly. Toss frequently.
- Add wild rice to skillet and continue to saute a while longer, tossing frequently to coat wild rice with oil but do not let it burn.

- Add Cream of Celery soup to skillet and mix quickly, then add 2 soup cans of water and stir until well mixed.
- When well mixed, add reserved sausage meat and mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil, immediately remove from stove and pour into a buttered casserole (at least 2 qts.) and cover with foil.
- Place in oven and bake. After 30 minutes check and add a small amount of additional water if necessary, and stir well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 Prepare rice according to package instructions, cooking for about 15 to 20 minutes. Rice should still be watery. Sauté the sausage until browned. Drain off the grease. Sauté the mushrooms in 3 T. butter. In casserole dish mix: rice, sausage, soup, mushrooms, almonds, salt, pepper and curry. (I sprayed my casserole dish with Pam.) Heat through in preheated oven about 30 to 45 min. Can be made up the day before and then cooked. If cold, bake longer. Serves six.
Tips:
- Brown the sausage first: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry in the casserole.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Don't overcook the rice: Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Some good options include sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- Serve the casserole hot: This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and bubbly. Serve it with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
Wild rice and sausage casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its combination of wild rice, sausage, vegetables, and cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
