Lucy'S Special Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. bulk pork sausage
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped green pepper
1 c. chopped onions
1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted
1 1/2 c. raw rice
2 (12 1/2 oz. each) cans chicken broth

Preparation

Brown sausage; drain well.
Reserve 1/4 cup of fat.
Cook celery, green pepper and onions in reserved fat.
(Do not overcook!)
Put sausage, vegetables and almonds into a 3-quart baking dish.
Add rice and broth; mix well.
Bake at 350\u00b0 until liquid is completely absorbed (1 1/2 to 2 hours).
If you like your rice softer, you might add more chicken broth and cook a little longer.
Delicious with congealed salad and green vegetables.
