How To Make cheesy sausage/ rice casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish, set aside.

Step 2

Brown sausage, onion, garlic, mushrooms, seasonings together in about 1 tablespoon oil, and drain.
Step 3

Combine the rice with the sausage mixture. Add the pimentos.
Step 4

Add soups and shredded cheese; stir to mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into greased casserole dish. Bake 25-30 minutes or until casserole bubbles in the center. Remove from oven and sprinkle additional cheese on top, if desired...I didn't. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Roughly 40 minutes in all.
Step 5

I think you could substitute just about anything in this dish for the mushrooms; if not a fan...it just had an awesome flavor. Make sure you use a flavorful sausage...as I think that is what made the dish wonderful!....Enjoy!
