Davies’ Thanksgiving Dirty Rice Casserole:

2 boxes of Uncle Ben’s Original Wild Rice (not fast cook or microwave rice)

1 lb of “Hot” country sausage

1 package sliced portobello mushrooms

1 vidalia onion

1 red pepper

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

1 box of “turkey” flavored Stovetop Stuffing (just trust me)

• Cook down mushrooms, chopped red pepper (save a few raw pieces for a garnish), & chopped onion together (add salt, garlic pepper, & a dab of butter to taste) & set to the side

• Brown sausage and drain with a spoon (not a strainer, remember “dirty” 😉) & set to the side

• Cook both boxes of wild rice and pull it when it’s “almost” done (use a little less water than it tells you to)

• Spray a casserole dish lightly with non-stick spray

• Mix everything together in a big bowl and pour it into the casserole dish

• Pour cream of mushroom soup over the top and let seep down into the rice

• Cook your Stovetop stuffing and use a fork to spread it over top of your rice

• Add chopped red pepper garnish & serve

• You can also cover and keep it in a warm oven for hours until Thanksgiving is served! Enjoy!
