That looks delicious!

It was a hit at my house! I’ll definitely be adding it to the regular rotation.
Ginger says
Silly question but did you add one cup of cooked rice or one cup of dried riced that you cooked?
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast) says
I cooked the rice first. If you added more liquid, you could just add try rice and it will cook while the casserole bakes.

Kalyna says
how much more liquid should be added for dry rice? the 1 cup plus the amount recommended in cooking instructions for rice? so 3 cups total?
A Savory Feast says
I would add 2 additional cups of liquid (either water or chicken broth) so 3 total cups of liquid. I’ve never made this recipe using dry rice so I can’t guarantee it will turn out the same but I am sure it would work.
MK says
Not sure I understand your “dried rice that I cooked,” but there was way too much liquid for 1 cup COOKED rice. I had to add Minute Rice before it went into the oven to soak up some broth while it cooked. Was still some liquid in bottom of dish. I think maybe it should have been uncooked rice in the directions–???
A Savory Feast says
No, this recipe is made with cooked rice. Only 1 additional cup of liquid is added which should continue to cook into the rice so you won’t be left with an overly liquid-y casserole.
Coll F says
Did you pre-cook the sausage? I was going to use regular sausage not turkey! Planning to make this tonight!!
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast) says
No need to pre-cook the sausage, just cut it up and throw it in! If you want them to be a bit crispier, though, you could sauté the sausages in some oil on the stovetop for a few minutes before adding them in.
Carol D says
I liked the idea of this recipe, but it came out rather bland. I would season it up.
A Savory Feast says
Feel free to add some spices! I sometimes like to add garlic powder and onion powder.
Connie Ramirez says
It doesn’t look too saucy. What can be added to make it creamier?
A Savory Feast says
You can always add an extra can of cream of chicken soup!
MK says
What? The recipe didn’t call for cream of chicken soup!!!
A Savory Feast says
This recipe doesn’t call for cream of chicken soup but you could add it to make the casserole even creamier.
Rosanna Klok says
Does it need to be covered with foil? The brocolli didn’t cook.
A Savory Feast says
I don’t cover mine with foil. If the broccoli pieces are larger they will take longer to cook. See the pictures in the post for an example of the size that I cut the broccoli. But you can always leave it in the oven longer until the broccoli is tender!
Reese says
This looks great! Have everything on hand but I have frozen broccoli- would that work?
A Savory Feast says
Yes I have made with frozen broccoli before! You can add in frozen or thaw first, whatever your preference is.
Susan says
I had to cook the rice, thaw and cook my sausages, and lightly cook frozen broccoli and lightly cook onions with bell peppers. I wanted to be sure everything cooked together evenly. This is a delicious recipe. I will probably make it again soon. It’s great that you can use different dinner sausages, different vegetables, different shredded cheese so you aren’t always making the exact same meal.
Peggy J. says
I am guessing that the cheese is shredded, but that should be included in the ingredients since some of us buy a brick of cheese rather than a bag of shredded.
A Savory Feast says
Thank you! I’ve updated that in the recipe.
