Tater Tot And Wild Rice Hot Dish Casserole

1. 1

   Wash the wild rice thoroughly to eliminate any chaff

2. 2

   In a pot, soften the rice (less than 2 parts water, 1 part rice), bringing rice to a boil for 5 minutes, then simmering on low-medium for 20 minutes (You don't want the rice to have split yet or to be mushy in consistency, so watch it carefully)

3. 3

   Brown the meats, drain grease

4. 4

   Brown the celery and onion (I use a little of the grease from the sausage)

5. 5

   Combine the meats, celery and onion, rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom and pour into a casserole dish (You're going to want about an inch and half depth of casserole, so make sure it's a big dish)

6. 6

   Bake covered at 350 for 1 1/2 hours

7. 7

   Remove from oven, top with tater tots and bake for another 30 minutes, covered

8. 8

   Remove from oven and add mozzarella and bake uncovered for 10 minutes
