Sausage Rice Casserole
Ground pork, rice, and veggies turns into a delicious sausage rice casserole dish that’s easy and filling. This family meal will be a hit at the dinner table.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rice
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 packages Lipton Chicken Noodle
- 5 cups water
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 onion
- 1 green pepper
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (omit if using seasoned pork sausage)
Instructions
- Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with the oil and set aside. Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place rice, water, and Lipton Chicken Noodle soup in a pan along and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook until water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook sausage until browned. Drain any grease and put the cooked sausage in the casserole dish.
- Add the chopped onion, green pepper and celery to the skillet. Add a tad more oil to sauté if needed.
- Season the veggies with oregano, pepper, and salt (if using) and cook until onions are lightly golden and translucent. Remove from heat and add it to the casserole dish.
- Pour the rice and soup mixture to the casserole dish with the veggies and sausage and stir together.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour until browned on top.
Notes
- Lipton Chicken Soup has a lot of salt added already so you can skip the salt if you wish.
- If you're using ground sausage, omit the salt.
- If you want to mix it up, you can use ground beef, turkey, or chicken instead of ground pork or sausage.
- Add shredded cheese to make it a cheesy rice and sausage casserole.
