Sausage And Rice Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. bulk pork sausage
4 1/2 c. water
2 (2 1/8 oz. each) pkg. dehydrated noodle soup
1 c. sliced celery
1 pimento, chopped
1 medium size onion, finely chopped
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
1 c. uncooked rice
1/2 c. grated sharp cheese

Preparation

Fry sausage until well browned and drain off excess fat. Break up sausage with a wooden spoon as it fries so that it is crisp to pick up savory drippings.
Stir in chicken noodle soup. Bring to a boil again and remove from heat.
Add celery, pimento, onion, chopped green pepper and rice.
Turn into a 9 x 13-inch greased baking pan; sprinkle with cheese over top.
Bake, uncovered, in a slow oven (300\u00b0) for 1 hour.
Serves 6 to 8.
