Easy rice, vegetables and sausage casserole

by 145 Comments

Weekends are always the busiest days of the week. As much as I try to find some free time there are a million things left to be done Saturday or Sunday. Grocery shopping & meal planning, soccer games, birthday parties, house chores. We hardly have any time to sit down.
Rush, rush, rush to get everything done by Sunday night so the coming week doesn’t start with a pile of laundry to wash/fold or with an empty fridge.
And with the holidays fast approaching, I doubt things will slow down.
Obviously, I hardly have time to cook. Usually we have leftovers or something that comes together as fast as snapping your fingers.  Luckily for me, after making this easy rice, vegetables and sausage casserole for the first time a couple of weeks ago my family requests it almost every weekend and it’s already on our Thanksgiving menu as a side dish!
No worries, my lovelies! I can find 5 minutes to put this casserole together for you! Yes, you read that right. It takes 5 minutes of prep time!  The secret to this super easy recipe is using Success® White Rice.
Have you cooked with Success® Rice before?   Success Rice is the ORIGINAL no measure, no mess boil-in-bag rice that cooks perfectly every time and is ready in 10 minutes. Since it is already pre-measured before bagging it into a colander-style bag, it makes it totally foolproof.
The white and brown rice can sit in hot water with the heat off for as long as 30 minutes after it is cooked, before being served. How cool is that?
If you’re looking for a fragrant rice for your stir fry, Success Rice has you covered. In addition to the Whole Grain Brown Rice and White Rice (which are both also available in larger family size 32 oz. bags), you can enjoy Success® Rice Thai Jasmine and Success® Rice Basmati Rice — all four of these varieties mentioned here are also gluten-free.
Check out www.successrice.com for recipe ideas and more info about cooking with the 4 different varieties. For recipe inspiration, lifestyle tips and more be sure to like and follow Success Rice’s social pages:

Success Rice on Pinterest To make this super easy rice, vegetables and sausage casserole you’ll need 2 bags of Success® White Rice, frozen vegetables, broth, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced cooked sausages, cherry tomatoes and some grated parmesan.  Start my mixing the rice with the frozen vegetables.
I usually use a mix of green beans, peas, carrots, and corn but I’m sure you can use whatever mix your family enjoys.
Pour the broth over and cover with grated cheddar. Top the casserole with the sliced sausages and cherry tomatoes. Bake and serve! That’s all!  As you see, the hardest part is probably slicing the sausage or the cherry tomatoes.
The rest of the recipe is based on “dump the ingredients in the casserole and wait for the magic to happen.”

    My favorite variety is the Whole Grain Brown Rice, because it has a nice chewy texture and holds up well to our favorite rice dish, leftover chicken (or turkey) and veggies in a cream sauce, served over rice. We have this meal at least every couple of weeks, sometimes more often.

    I love brown rice pilaf. It’s an easy way to use up what’s in the vegetable crisper! The Success Basmati Rice is one of my favorite Success products.

    One of our favorites is hamburger & gravy over white rice with veggies (on the side or mixed in. I like to mix mine in 😉 ) Because of that, the Success White Rice would be my favorite 🙂

    We like to use boil-in-bag rice with Chinese takeout. Since both my husband & I eat a lot of rice, there never seems to be enough from the restaurant. My favorite Success rice is the white rice. Thank you for the giveaway!

    The Success version of Shrimp Fried Rice is very similar to one I make frequently. I like using Success white rice for this recipe and jasmine rice as a simple side dish for other meals.

    I am from Louisiana and have learned that it is hard to find good Cajun red beans and rice. So I make them myself the way my grandma used too. So now I have to make them for Christmas dinner and i also make them for all my family and even the workplace.
