Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb. hot or mild sausage (your choice)
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 box Lipton chicken noodle soup (or any brand you prefer)
4½ cups water
½ cup long grain rice

Instructions

Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

🌭 Choose your favorite sausage—hot for a spicy kick or mild for a milder flavor. You can also try turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option!

Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped green pepper and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the chicken noodle soup, long grain rice, and water. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 7 minutes.
Mix It All Together: Add the browned sausage, sautéed pepper, and celery to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bake: Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, cover it, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.

🔥 For a crispy topping, you can uncover the dish for the last 10-15 minutes of baking!

Variations

Vegetarian: Substitute the sausage with a plant-based sausage or tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken noodle soup for a delicious meat-free version! 🌱
Spicy Kick: Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sautéed vegetables for an extra burst of heat!
Add-ins: Toss in some frozen peas or corn during the last few minutes of baking for added color and nutrition.

Tips for Success

Leftovers: This dish keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it great for meal prep. Just reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Freezing: You can freeze the casserole before baking. Just cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking as directed.
Serving suggestion: Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions for a vibrant touch!
