PORK AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE
This recipe is a delicious use of wild rice. Just be sure to season your ground pork if you don't buy it preseasoned (usually labeled as pork sausage). Fresh Italian sausage can also be used, just cut open the casing. Works great prepared a day ahead and re-heated for 20 minutes at serving time.

[email protected]I made this casserole in a slow cooker and it turned out great! I just browned the pork and vegetables in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. I cooked it on low for 8 hours and it was perfect.

[email protected]This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think it would be better with more liquid, such as a can of tomato soup or a cup of broth.

[email protected]This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I also think it would be good with a side of cranberry sauce.
