Sausage and Rice Casserole

Print Recipe

This is another great casserole that I put together for my niece.  She is a vegetarian and I wanted to make her something special for Christmas dinner.  This is a great recipe with either a vegetarian sausage or with a real sausage as well. It is also great made with a spicy sausage.  Y’all are going to love this one.
