Wild Rice & Sausage Hot Dish

Submitted by Low Stress Feasting

"A good cold weather dinner. You can sauté the vegetables to soften before adding to the pot if you like, but I've found that adding them to the rice while it is cooking softens them sufficiently. . For convenience, packaged matchstick-cut carrots work well for quick fine chopping. A 16-oz roll of turkey breakfast sausage can be substituted for the12-oz roll of pork sausage."

1. Cook rice according to package directions - the Minnesota hand-harvested type I use takes 35-45 minutes.
2. While rice is cooking, chop vegetables and add to rice pot.
3. Cook sausage in a skillet until browned; drain and set aside.
4. Once rice is done, mix sausage into pot. Add soups; stir to combine well. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.
