An exchange student who stayed with us made this rice casserole for us. It's good served with crusty rolls. Now I like to make this, especially when we're having company over who knew our other daughter .
Ingredients:
1 pound johnsonville® mild italian sausage links
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, diced
3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
3 cups boiling water
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 cans (4 ounces each) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook sausage in oil until a thermometer reads 160°; drain. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Return to pan; add onion and rice. Cook until rice is lightly browned. Stir in the red pepper, carrots, bouillon and water. Bring to a boil.
2. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the liquid is almost absorbed, stirring occasionally. Add the peas, mushrooms and tomatoes. Cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through.
3. Remove half the mixture to a serving bowl. Top with half of the olives, eggs and cheese. Repeat layers. Yield: 6-8 servings.
