Description

This is my favorite casserole! It features pork sausage, rice, chicken soup mix, and vegetables. I grew up loving this and now I make it for my husband.

Ingredients

1 pound pork sausage, sliced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 (4 1/2 ounce) package chicken noodle soup mix
2 cups hot water
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine sausage, onion, celery, and bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3 Stir dry rice in with sausage and vegetables, then add water and soup mix. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish and top with almonds.
4 Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
