When company's coming or when I need a quick-and-easy dish to pass, this is my hands-down favorite. A neighbor introduced me to the delicious combination of fluffy rice and sage-seasoned sausage. One forkful was all it took to convince me that I'd found a winner. Ingredients:
1 pound sage-flavored pork sausage |
1 cup sliced celery |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
1/4 cup chopped green pepper |
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced |
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained |
1 cup converted rice, uncooked |
2 cups chicken broth |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Brown sausage in heavy skillet over medium heat; transfer sausage to a 2-1/2-qt. greased casserole dish. In the sausage drippings, saute celery, onion, peppers and mushrooms until lightly browned; transfer to casserole. To casserole add water chestnuts, rice, broth and seasonings; mix well. Cover tightly and bake at 350° for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until rice is fluffy and tender. Yield: 6 servings.
