This recipe is a hit. I cut up Italian hot sausage links (this is what I had on hand) added some pepper and a blend of green herbs (rosemary, thyme,marjoran, sage, savory, basil, oregano) and wow it was terrific. Next time I have to double the batch, it was that good. Thank you for the quick and tasty recipe.

Well, it just didn't turn out that well. The noodles from the soup mix were mushy but the rice was not quite done after 70 minutes in the oven-- so it was mushy and crunchy. I'm glad other people liked it, but it seems many of them only used chicken broth instead of the soup mix.

The flavor of this casserole was quite good, the texture was just not my favorite I am afraid. I used hot italian sausage a little bit of yelloe pepper along with the red and a few chopped mushrooms that needed using. The flavor intensified once warmed up which was a pleasant surprise. I do believe this would make a lovely pot luck dish.

So I was looking for a way to use up a pound of turkey kielbasa, and this seemed like a good idea. Did I say good? I meant incredible! I used half of a large onion, 3 stalks of celery, and added about 1/3 each of yellow and orange peppers to the red. Like vivmom, I didn't have soup mix, but I did have the gelatinous goodness leftover from baked chicken, about a cup-full. I added another 1.5 cup of water to that, since I used thin basmathi rice, and it was a bit too liquidy. The dish sat in my warm oven for about an hour before it was served, and both my parents, who rarely eat a full plate, had seconds! I'm so glad I have leftovers!
