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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Look for wild rice that is plump and firm, and sausage that is flavorful and not too greasy.
  • Cook the wild rice according to the package directions. Wild rice takes longer to cook than white rice, so be sure to allow enough time.
  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop its flavor and keep it from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the casserole. This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Season the casserole to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and the rice is tender. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to scoop.

With its combination of wild rice, sausage, vegetables, and cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
