Sausage Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. bulk pork sausage (hot or mild, your choice)
1 lb. ground meat
1 c. bell pepper, chopped
1 c. celery, chopped
1 c. onion, chopped
2 c. golden mushroom or cream of mushroom soup
garlic powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste (I do not use salt)
2 Tbsp. oil
1 c. rice

Preparation

Saute sausage and ground meat in oil until no longer pink. Pour off excess oil and remove from fire.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Add at least 2 cans water.
Cover and bake in 350\u00b0 oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Stir about every 20 minutes until rice is absorbed.
(You might have to add a little more water to make sure the rice gets done.)
Serves 8 to 10.
