Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

about 2 c cooked rice, i used uncle bens - no instant rice
1 lb sausage - i used bob evans, original, if i would have had hot would have preferred it, ...just make sure you use a flavorful sausage
1 c onion, diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
4 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms, ( optional )
1 - 4 oz jar, pimentos
2 c ( 8 ounces ) velveeta shreds ( or could use cheddar...i actually liked how creamy the velveeta made this)
1 - 14.75 oz cream of chicken soup
1 - 10 3/4 oz cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish, set aside.
  • 2. Brown sausage, onion, garlic, mushrooms, seasonings together in about 1 tablespoon oil, and drain.
  • 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!
