Simple Sausage and Rice Casserole

Even the most picky eaters enjoy this simple dish. I have stretched the recipe to include as much as 2 cups of rice when feeding a larger crowd; I've also used brown rice instead of white rice. This brown rice lengthens the cooking time but does not significantly alter the taste (i.e, my children have never noticed the difference). Also, we prefer to use bulk sausage.
