In the bottom of a large casserole dish, combine stock, soup, rice, and sausage mixture.

Stir together, and smooth out the top.

6
Cover the casserole tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour, then taste the rice for doneness.

If the rice is cooked through, remove from the oven and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes until serving.

Add a bit more cooking time if needed, or a splash of extra stock if the rice is uncooked and the casserole is very dry.

If youd like to use regular white rice, feel free, and if you use regular brown rice (that takes longer to cook), add about 1/2 cup extra water or stock to the casserole before cooking.
-
15
Keep in mind that the rice may not cook quite as quickly.
-
16
Just taste it before you take it out of the oven, and add more liquid and/or cooking time if needed to finish the rice!
