Sausage and Rice Casserole Side Dish image

When company's coming or when I need a quick-and-easy dish to pass, this is my hands-down favorite. A neighbor introduced me to the delicious combination of fluffy rice and sage-seasoned sausage. One forkful was all it took to convince me that I'd found a winner. -Joyce Green, Bettendorf, Iowa

This casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a spicy sausage, which gave the dish a nice kick. The rice was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
