KIELBASA & RICE CASSEROLE
This is one of my families favorite dinners. I wanted something different and had the kielbasa in the refrigerator. I have a husband who hates rice, but he really loves this one. When I served it to a married son he just couldn't stop eating it.

KIELBASA AND RICE CASSEROLE
This is one of my "hamburger helper" type meals. Its fast and you can make it on that night you forgot to take something out. I always keep these ingredients in the cabinet anyway. I now make my black beans Recipe HERE and I usually use frozen corn. You can adjust it how you want. I usually start the rice and sausage at the same time and dinner is done in 20 minutes. An easy one skillet meal so little to clean up!

Tips:
- For a crispier topping, use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and will not brown as well.
- If you don't have any pineapple juice, you can substitute apple juice or white grape juice.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the recipe. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350 degree F oven until it's warmed through.
