Sausage - Rice Casserole

"There are many of these with the same name but this one is unique. A great recipe and you get TWO DINNERS OUT OF THIS 1 RECIPE. Perfect for making one and taking one to another family. Or making one and freezing one. Freezing directions below. Or if you have 12-16 people to feed. My guests and family loved this. I served it with crusty bread. A total kid pleaser also. You can add more seasonings if you wish but perfect for a cozy dinner at home. This came from Jennifer Trost a Taste of Home reader and was in a cook booklet Dinners on a Dime 2010. Enjoy CHefDLH."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a busy mom both with stuff at home and my work. My kids and husband love to try new creations so they are right at home with my love of recipes. It is fun to make something and try several different ways at it. I love to try different enchilada recipes, recipes for various ice teas, and anything that gets food on the table on the weeknights. Restaurant recipes for the weekends are another favorite.
