adapted from: Rush Hour Recipes
2 Lbs. ground pork sausage
1 onion, chopped
3 - 4 c. celery, chopped
9 c. water
2 c. long-cooking rice, uncooked
3 (2 oz.) envs. chicken noodle soup mix, uncooked
In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, onion and celery, stirring often to break up sausage. Drain. Meanwhile, in a very large stockpot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Add uncooked rice and soup mix to boiling water; stir well and add sausage mixture. Stir to mix completely; mixture will be very watery. Transfer to a greased deep 3-quart casserole dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven; stir. Cover and bake an additional 30-40 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Makes 10-12 servings.
Jenn's Notes: I made 1/4 batch of this and with two of us eating it, we still had plenty leftover. I added some red and green diced bell pepper, because I had some in my fridge and peppers make everything better!
