Dressing up...this should be a fun and exciting childhood experience. Not so much for my kiddos. They've been studying Fairy Tales in school lately and this week held a couple of dressup opportunities. Since I made my daughter wear a fancy princess dress to her Fairy Tale Ball, she said I ruined her whole day. My son came home with a list of specific Fairy Tale characters he could choose from to dress up as...but he insisted that he had to be a super hero. Sigh.
I was thankful for a simple recipe to throw into the oven while my kids were throwing fits about dressing up. Ha! This Sausage Casserole is probably not the healthiest recipe, but it is hearty and filling...and most of my family members loved it! It's great for a busy weeknight when you may or may not have some cranky family members to please.
Recipe:
1 lb. ground Sausage
4 sticks Celery (chopped)
1/2 Onion (chopped)
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cups Cooked White Rice
1 can Rotel Tomatoes (drained)
2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook the Sausage, Celery and Onion over medium heat until the meat is browned.
3. In a large bowl, mix the meat mixture with the next three ingredients and 1 cup of Cheese.
4. Pour mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cup of Cheese over the top.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and browned a bit.
I finally talked him into dressing as a bear from Goldilocks and the Three Bears! I don't think he made it off the bus with the ears. Oh well. Fairy Tale week is just not for us. Ha!
