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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality wild rice. Look for wild rice that is plump and dark in color. Avoid rice that is broken or has a lot of dust.
  • Rinse the wild rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large pot to cook the wild rice. Wild rice expands quite a bit when it cooks, so it's important to use a pot that is large enough to accommodate it.
  • Cook the wild rice according to the package directions. Different brands of wild rice may have different cooking instructions, so be sure to follow the directions on the package.
  • Let the wild rice cool slightly before adding it to the casserole. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the casserole. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Use a flavorful pork sausage. This will add a lot of flavor to the casserole.
  • Season the casserole to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the casserole from falling apart when you serve it.

Conclusion:

Wild rice and pork sausage casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give this casserole a try!
