Amish Cheesy Sausage and Rice Bake
By Kevin Williams
This recipe was first featured over three years ago on the site and was an instant favorite with many readers. I love this recipe. It's a hot, hearty, filling supper. You can bake it and then pile it in a bowl and just have as much as you want. That is my kind of meal! And this is a meal that is very popular in Amish kitchens especially as the weather takes a turn for the cool and Amish cooks are trying to use up some of their home-canned sausage from last winter in anticipation of this winter's butchering bounty.
The meal before it goes into the oven....
So, yes, you can use store-bought sausage in this recipe. Most of you will. But most Amish cooks would be using sausage from their home-canned supply which, of course, would taste amazingly fresh. You also can make a vegetarian version of this by substituting veggie sausage crumbles for the real thing.
This meal is rounded out well with some steamed broccoli on the side.
