SAUSAGE AND RICE DRESSING

Sausage and Rice Dressing The Southern Lady Cooks

This sausage and rice dressing is absolutely delicious. I’ve served this dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas and have taken it to several potlucks. I always get asked for the recipe. Not only is this dish full of flavor, but it’s also simple to prepare. If you need an easy side dish…this is it!

Ingredients Needed for Sausage and Rice Dressing:

Pork breakfast sausage

Chopped celery

Diced white onion

Cream of mushroom

Chicken broth

Uncooked long-grain rice (NOT instant rice)

Dried thyme

Minced garlic

Dried rosemary leaves

salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Notes: I always make this recipe in a 2-quart casserole dish with a top on it. You can always cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, too. I love serving this dish and our homemade cranberry sauce. The sweet and the savory go together so well.

You may also want to try our sausage biscuit dressing or our classic cornbread dressing. They are both delicious!
