This is a quick and easy casserole that is very tasty! I frequently make pasta dishes with sausage, but I have been trying to use more whole grains, so this time I made the sausage using rice instead of pasta. I used brown rice, which gives it more fiber and also added a nice nutty flavor to the dish.
When I was growing up one of my favorite meals that my mom made was baked chicken, cooked on top of rice mixed with cream of mushroom soup. But I don’t like to cook with cream soups, because they have so much fat and sodium. So this is a healthier version of that meal, using tomatoes instead of cream soup and adding more vegetables.
