Sausage Rice Casserole

 

ingredients:
1 lb. link sausage
1 large minced onion
1/2 green pepper
2 cups diced celery
2 pkgs Lipton's Noodle Soup
1 cup regular rice
2-4 oz cans sliced mushrooms.
1-4 oz pkg. slivered almonds

Directions;

1. Gather your ingredients and measure them out, and chop the vegetables.

2. I like to brown the links first and then cool them and sliced th,em while I gather the rest of the ingredients.

3. Bring 5 and 1/2 cups water in a sauce pan and add the rice, add the 2 pkgs soup mix, then add the mushrooms.

4. Slice the link sausages into 1/3 inch rounds Add the celery, and onions in the same pan with the drippings from the cooked the sausage.

5. Add the sausage pieces to the pan, heat and add to the rice mix, bring to a simmer till the rice starts to expand, Then transfer to a baking casserole.

6. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. In years past it was set at the center of the table, and you could take seconds easy. We served it with salad and bread.
