I use 1 can of chicken gumbo to mix in with rice and the veggies . After getting mixture in to a pan for baking I level the top an add a can of cream of chicken an spread it carefully over the top like icing a cake. Bake till bubbly around the edges. For a quick fix fry sausage celery onion & bell pepper put in crock pot with 2 cups dry minute rice & 2 Cups water add gumbo mix well, spread cream of chicken on top put on low for a meal thats ready when you get home from work. My mom used the crock pot method for company n she didn’t have to keep an eye on the Cassarole.

This is a really great recipe, super easy & tasty too. I used sausages cut into small pieces & a mixture of green & red peppers, instead of celery I used carrot. Instead of baking in the oven I let it simmer on a very low heat on the stove until the rice was tender. It's kind of like a sausage risotto, yummy, thanks for posting!

This truly is quick, easy and tasty. I subbed red pepper for the green as I didn't have any. I also doubled the rice (2 hungry men in the house you know) and added 2 cups of water to the soups. It also only took 1 hour cooking time. Made for Cameraless Chef game '07. :)
