- 3. Combine the rice with the sausage mixture. Add the pimentos.
- 4. Add soups and shredded cheese; stir to mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into greased casserole dish. Bake 25-30 minutes or until casserole bubbles in the center. Remove from oven and sprinkle additional cheese on top, if desired...I didn't. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Roughly 40 minutes in all.
- 5. I think you could substitute just about anything in this dish for the mushrooms; if not a fan...it just had an awesome flavor. Make sure you use a flavorful sausage...as I think that is what made the dish wonderful!....Enjoy!
