Hog Winslow's Sausage Casserole

Well, I got this Aunt Bea's Mayberry Cook book with all the recipes that they had eaten on the TV show. This is one good recipe for sausage casserole!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds lean pork sausage
4 - 5 spring onions including the tender tops - chopped
1 medium bunch of celery, leaves included - chopped
1 large green pepper - chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 packages dry chicken noodle soup mix
4 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup raw brown rice
1 8 ounce can sliced water chestnuts - drained
1/4 cup slivered almonds

In a large heavy skillet cook the sausage, stirring until crumbled. Remove from the fat and reserve. Pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of fat.
Sauté the onions, celery, and green pepper, seasoning to taste.

In a saucepan cook the chicken noodle soup in the boiling water for about 7 mins. Add the brown rice and water chestnuts. Remove from the heat and add the sausage and sautéed vegetables. Turn the mixture into a large casserole dish. Sprinkle with the almonds, and cover.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 30 mins to 2 hours.
Remove the cover for the last 30 mins of baking.

Serves 8 - 10
