Italian Sausage & Creamy Rice Hotdish

"Memphis cooks. They are the best in the world. I ran into this delicious dish at a church potluck dinner. I had to tackle the person who brought this dish out in the church parking lot. After twisting his/her arm, finally I got the recipe (a bit overstated here)! It is simple, consists of commonly available ingredients. And will be a keeper, I promise!"

  1. This was very good. Real comfort food. I added a couple bay leaves and a little bit of rosemary. I also used lower salt soups. Instead of chicken noodle, I used cream of chicken. I will be making this again, especially on a cold winter night. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. This is pretty easy, tasty and versatile. We have enjoyed it several times now.
     
  3. This was good, but I followed the instructions by putting the rice on the bottom of the dish, and I ended up with crunchy undercooked (or perhaps slightly burnt?) rice. I used plain white rice, just as the recipe calls for. The flavor of the dish was still good, so it's one I'd make again; however, next time I'll definitely just go ahead and mix all the ingredients together in the casserole dish to ensure that the rice receives the proper moisture. I'll also probably use a bit more water than the recipe calls for.
     
  4. I made this in a jiffy. My family loved it! I used cream of celery instead of mushroom soup. I had a white rice vegtable blend from Trader Joes which I used instead of plain white rice. I added red peppers and green onions. Definitely a recipe I will make again!
     
  5. Wow, this was a life saver and very easy. I used italian turkey sausage and omitted the celery b/c I didn't have any. I also only used the cream of mushroom soup, substituting a can of chicken broth for the chicken noodle. I added the 3/4 c. of water, too, since I decided to use up all the rice I had left, which was about 1 1/2 cups (the can of broth was also a little more liquid {14 1/2 oz} than called for w/the noodle soup, so it all worked out). It turned out yummy and delicious, and so easy on a night my brain wasn't focused on cooking! Thanks so much.
