{Sausage and Rice Casserole}

Yield: 1 9x13 pan
Time: 60 minutes (unless you pre-cook rice and meat)

1 1/2 c rice
1 1/2 tsp basil
1 T parsley flakes
pepper to taste
1 small onion, chopped
*1/2 lb chicken sausage or pork, ground (mild, medium or hot to your liking)
3/4 c Hemp milk
2 c Cream of Mushroom Soup Sub
1 c GF buttered bread crumbs

 Cook your rice and ground/brown your meat. 

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except bread crumbs and spread into a 9X13 pan.  Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs on top and bake covered at 375 for 40 minutes or until hot.  Take cover off and continue baking another 5-10 minutes until bread crumbs brown.

*If you don't like the spices used in sausage meats you can sub for any plain ground meat of your choosing.

*If you get the chicken sausage that is already pre-packaged in casings, remove the casings and whiz the sausages in a food processor to make a crumbly texture since they are already cooked.

 *TIP: If you make all your GF bread homemade (like moi), save the edges and crumbs in the freezer for dishes like this that call for a bread crumb or corn flake topping.  Simply toast them under the broiler or if you are an excellent meal planner, leave them out overnight to get dry and stale.

Complete meal idea: Serve with steamed carrots and a basic side salad.
