A Simple Breakfast Casserole (photos)

We are making the stuff (and popping it into the freezer until needed) for our multi day family Christmas get together this week. The intent is to get several things prepped and frozen so we can enjoy everyone with minimal cooking time.

I am not sure if this dish has a name. We have cooked this for years and our family likes it a lot. I'll call it Sausage & Rice casserole.

This recipe made one large and one small casserole.

You'll Need:

2 pounds of sausage, browned
2 1/2 cups of rice (basmati) cooked.
4 stalks celery - diced and sautéed in butter
2 cans cream of celery soup, diluted half water and half soup.
Black pepper and salt to taste

Cook the rice and hold until assembling the casserole.

Brown the sausage



Sautee the celery



Set up the casserole dish with half of the rice you intend to eventually add.



add celery over the rice.





Add a portion of the sausage.





Then the rest of the rice and the rest of the sausage.

Dilute the soup half and half soup/water and pour the diluted soup over the sausage.





I'll post cooked photos later. At the moment, both casseroles are in the freezer, ready for breakfast one morning, which will include biscuits, this casserole and eggs.
