WILD RICE AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Wild Rice and Sausage Casserole image

This recipe is bi-cultural if you will - pork sausage from the South and wild rice from Minnesota, and I have to hand it to those folks from Minnesota on this one. We don't grow wild rice down here, but it is delicious, so I order my wild rice from a reservation store at Leech Lake, Minnesota operated by the Band of Ojibwe. Of course, I will point out that Leech Lake is very near the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Try this recipe - it is simple and delicious.

SAUSAGE AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE RECIPE



Sausage and Wild Rice Casserole Recipe image

Provided by contessawannabe

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice Original Recipe with Herbs
1 can cream of mushroom soup undiluted
1 lb. breakfast sausage links cut into bite size pieces (Jesse Jones original is best per Candy) Note from Andrea: If you like spicy, you could do a hot sausage. I have also made it with turkey sausage.
1 package of fresh sliced mushrooms sautéed in 3 Tbsp. butter (add liquid to casserole - I also added some garlic as I was cooking this and some dried onion flakes) or if you can find them 1 lg. can B and B sliced mushrooms
½ cup slivered or sliced almonds - toasted
Salt and pepper to taste
Curry to taste - about 1 T. if doubling recipe

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 Prepare rice according to package instructions, cooking for about 15 to 20 minutes. Rice should still be watery. Sauté the sausage until browned. Drain off the grease. Sauté the mushrooms in 3 T. butter. In casserole dish mix: rice, sausage, soup, mushrooms, almonds, salt, pepper and curry. (I sprayed my casserole dish with Pam.) Heat through in preheated oven about 30 to 45 min. Can be made up the day before and then cooked. If cold, bake longer. Serves six.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Opt for good quality sausage, wild rice, and vegetables. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will elevate the dish.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is fully cooked before adding it to the casserole. Undercooked sausage can be a health hazard and can ruin the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the wild rice: Wild rice has a chewy texture, but it can become mushy if overcooked. Cook it according to the package instructions or until it is tender but still has a slight bite.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match different vegetables in the casserole. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole generously. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the casserole will add a delicious golden brown crust. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Sausage and wild rice casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish that's perfect for a family dinner. It's easy to make and packed with protein, making it a great option for busy weeknights. With its combination of savory sausage, nutty wild rice, tender vegetables, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
