02 Step

In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. (8 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. (12 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Stir in the rice, hot water (or chicken broth), and dry chicken noodle soup mix. Stir well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps of soup mix remaining. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the casserole. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Cover the pot tightly with a lid and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. (90 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the rice to fully absorb any remaining liquid. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. You can also substitute different types of nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for the almonds.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or carrots, to the casserole. Adjust the amount of liquid as needed.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large oven-safe baking dish. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil while baking.
