Easy Sausage and Rice Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 pound sausage, I used pork
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth or 1 3/4 cup water with bouillon
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• ¼ cup slivered almonds (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat add the sausage, onion, celery, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is no longer pink.
2. Add the chicken broth, cream of celery, and rice mix until incorporated then transfer to a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with slivered almonds. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or glass lid and bake for 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
