Easy Pineapple, Kielbasa and Rice Casserole

After researching many pineapple casserole recipes on this site, I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I created this one with inspiration from a somewhat similar recipe. I've made it twice now, and am happy with the current results.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1⁄2 cup  uncooked white rice
• 1  cup water
• 1  medium green bell pepper, chopped into 1/2-inch dice
• 1  small  white onion, diced
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar, divided
• 1 (12 ounce) package kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch coins

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In an oven safe 9x11x2" baking dish pour undrained pineapple and 1 cup of water. Add uncooked rice, onion, bell pepper and 1 tblsp of the brown sugar. Stir thoroughly. Top with kielbasa coins and sprinkle with remaining brown sugar. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 60 minutes.
3. Note: Cooking time may depend on the brand of long grained white rice you use. Check after 45 minutes. I do not recommend Minute Rice.
